That's the export variant of Vought SB2U Vindicator i presume?

AFAIK the British version was not used operationally, but US was. Also the French used some sort of a variant of this if i'm not mistaken.

Cool pic Fisneaky. Yes, same role.....slighty differnt configuartions. I always wondered why Blackburn used that huge windscreen. Drag must have been horrible.
