How Britain might extend the SBD Dauntless

Would Britain have considered the SBD Dauntless overdue for replacement by 1943 or 1944?

It would depend on the mission, available replacements, and British modifications rather than on a fixed date alone.

The SBD Dauntless had no fixed British expiry date. Its replacement would depend on how the aircraft was being used, what successor types were available, and what modifications had already been made. British services frequently altered American equipment to suit their own requirements. Obsolescence depended on mission, adaptation, and replacement supply as well as the age of the airframe.
