09/30/2011. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Produced by General Motors for the USN under the BuNo. 91569 as a TBM-3E, this aircraft was completely rebuilt in an USN establishment into a TBM-3S for anti-submarine duties. On January 30, 1954 the aircraft was transferred to the RNethN, where it was serialed I-10, later as 023. It was withdrawn from use in 1960 when replaced by the Grumman Tracker, and it was scrapped at NAS De Kooy on January 7, 1961."
