Warbird Information Exchange

There is this one at Yanks:

Going over the TBF / TBM Registry, it looks like their is roughly 10 Grumman TBF airframes that still exist in varying forms.

Chicks Dig Warbirds.......right?

I was in contact with him last year trying to see if the people restoring the 2 ex-RNZAF TBF-1Cs to static(but can ground run) had anything left over. Basically (and not surprisingly) he needs anything firewall forward as the major differences between the TBF-1 and the TBM-3 were there.

Thanks.
I never took a close look at the various registries, I figured Grumman built examples were nearly extinct. There are more than I expected.

My Photobucket links are long dead, so here they are from Flickr. As recovered, on the ramp at NAS Glenview, 1980:
