  This aircraft, N6583D (ex- BuNo 53503), after a long and varied career, (it even appears as one of the "Lost Squadron" Avengers in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") is still flying with the Commemorative Air Force (former "Confederate Air Force") as N53503.

  The photos of TBM Avengers in this latest collection with the crudely painted registrations (most with the "N658*D"-series such as N6583D above in the background), appear to be aircraft purchased and operated by Simsbury Flying Service based in Simsbury, Connecticut in the 1950s.
