evansb is there . F6F-3N Hellcat BuAer 41302 according to the r/h placard in the original photo. The other placard carries a warning that the wing mounted radar nacelle will cause airspeed to indicate 15-20 knots high in a left sideslip. If you look closely at the pic evansb has posted you can see the proximity of the nacelle to the pitot tube. Note the very small size of the radar display bolted into the centre of the instrument panel which I thought might throw some of you . The Hellcat became the most widely used carrier night fighter in the Pacific.
