As some are aware, my Dad was chief test pilot for Fleetwings and he tested their pilotless bombers as discussed in this thread:


Amongst his many photos I came across these:

I'm thinking the "SP2C" is a misprint on the photographer/editors part.

Dad did spend about 39 hours testing a SB2C-3 (Navy 19357) on loan from Eastern Aircraft Division of GM (Trenton,NJ) from June 1944 to May 1945. I thought it was for comparison purposes for the XBTK-1 dive bomber Fleetwings was developing at the time.


Also with the above pics were the following instrumentation pics:
