This Avenger built by General Motors, Eastern Aircraft Division in 1945 and flew with the US Navy as 53858 until the early 1950s. Later it operated as a spray plane and then on forestry protection duties before being sold to a French aircraft preservation group (hence the previous F-WQON reg.) and is now under restoration to flying condition by the CWHM.
