The dauntless wreckage used to be on display at the museum in the main aircraft hall around 96-97. It was a representation of the real crash site. It was very obviously a dauntless, as part of the wreckage was the perferated flaps/dive brakes. If I remember correctly it was in the centre of the main aircraft hall. I think it was then replaced by the Iroquois.

Another quality screenshot. The frame finishes it off nicely too, good angle for the screenshot, nice framing and also the quality is good. And it is also nice to see a less common aircraft.

Thanks for posting, how about a few more?

Smooth landings.
