Default Hellcat

Hello,

The Royal Navy operated Hellcat Is which were equivalent to the F6F-3, and
Hellcat IIs, equivalent to the F6F-5, of which this aircraft is one. The
Royal Navy never used the US designations. As this A/C was built for the
Royal Navy contract it never was an F-6 of any stripe.


Every Hellcat operated by the Royal Navy was an F6F. The F-6 was named
Skyray.

And the Royal Navy operated the F4, the F4 and the F-4
ie Martlet, Corsair, and Phantom (II)

Bye
