<p>c/n 1930.
US Navy Bureau No 09102.
This is one of the prototype Skyraiders which were originally designated XBT2D-1 and were given Bureau numbers from a cancelled batch of SB2D-1 Destroyers. 
Note that the BuNo under the tailplane is painted as ‘109102’ which sounds more realistic for a post-war type, but is actually a cancelled F6F-5N Hellcat serial.
Previously part of the gate collection at NAS Oceana, VA, it is now on display, still in VA-15 markings, on the deck of USS Intrepid as part of the Intrepid Sea, Air &amp; Space Museum, Pier 86, New York Harbor, NY.
