Grumman G-40 TBM-3 Avenger

05/31/2007. Remarks by Bill Ewing: "Before I transferred over to the RCAF in 1958, I was a Leading Seaman with HS-50 (Helicopter Antisubmarine) Squadron on HCMS Magnificent. The Avenger in the middle is an AEW version of 'Guppy' Flight (that's me holding down the helicopter rotor blade). Additional photos show an Avenger landing and a landed Avenger.
