About this Model:
The Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm used the Grumman Avenger AS Mk. 4 as a stopgap measure while another more modern aircraft was being developed for anti-submarine warfare. In 1953 one hundred Avenger were acquired from the US and converted to meet British specifications . It came equipped with an AN/APS-4 radar pod fitted to the underside of the starboard wing . Some were assigned to HMS Bulwark with Carrier Codes B or O applied in black or white on the fin until in 1955 Fairey Gannets replaced them. The last Avenger was retired from British service in 1962.
During the Suez Crisis 1956-1957 the Avengers were used as submarine hunter-killers. They were equipped with a wide variety of weapons from rockets to torpedoes and bombs. Yellow and black stripes were applies on this aircraft as a means of recognition and this aircraft was named "Beryl the Peril". Beryl was a 1953 comic strip version of a female " Dennis the Menace".
