No, that's an F-6.

No, it's an F6F.


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.
