Grumman Avenger

The Grumman Avenger TBM-3W2 could be recognized by the large radar bump under the hull and the radar was intended for detecting submarines at low altitude.

This Avenger, also called the "Hunter" had a 4-man crew. When contact was made with a target by this "Hunter", the other Avenger, the TBM-3E2, came into action to destroy the object, and this version was nicknamed "Killer".

The Avenger was in service with the MLD from 1954 to 1961.
