European T-6 Zero replicas

Indeed. The same one as in the recent photo. They bought if off Anthony Hutton. Must dig out my photos.

I thought that, but wasn’t sure.

Great photos, by the way.

Easter Sunday 1989 out of North Weald.

Zero replica been flown by Gary Numan, October 1990.

Didn’t the OFMC have one at one point?

The Anthony Hutton Harvard Formation Team Zeke, not my photo but a good shot, I think it was flown by Gary Numan, Tony Banfield and Dave Southwood over the years and of course Anthony himself

All credits to SIDDLEY HAWKER photobucket I WILL REMOVE IF REQUESTED

Indeed – and even has a retractable tailwheel!

N50RT looks very nice, quite similar to ZK-ZRO.

More info found – N50RT was built from the parts of many aircraft, powered by a P&W R1340, completed in 1993 & won Champion Warbird Replica & Golden Wrench Award at Oskosh that year.
It is a replica of the Zero A6M2 flown by Lt Yukio Seki who led the first kamikaze attack against US forces

N50RT/02-888 North American AT6B Texan/Zero c/n 0001 appears to be based in the Czech Republic at the moment

F-AZBK

Cheers Martin, oh yea Intrepid, and the Avenger was Tony Haig-Thomas mount IIRC

Ground crew then was Rob Paulding and Colin Wingrave. I only helped out when I wasn’t messing with a certain Grumman Avenger or with Intrepid Aviation.

Martin

I am sure when I purchased that video, the ground crew ( is that you Martin?) told me the beginning at Duxford & ground shots were filmed a month after the end of the display flying at Blackpool, so it was shot back to front

Love the way that they take off at Duxford and then mix and match with a display at Blackpool. But still a very good insight into display flying in the 90s.

Gary’s ‘Zero’ was a stock Harvard Mk.IIB ex FT323, and then B-19 in the Netherlands before becoming G-AZSC. He did at times flew the TTT replica that Anthony Hutton purchased in 1988 which was N15798/A1-110 and previous to that an ex-RCAF Harvard 4 before conversion. Believe that now resides in Australia. Am at work at the moment but will try and dig out some photos this evening.

Gary is no longer flying and is now living in Los Angeles.

Here’s a video clip that I posted the other day of Gary flying his Zero-Harvard:

Just found out via my good friend Shane Clayton, that the ex UK replica is now registered as N700JR and is registered to JR Consulting NV LLC of Midland, Texas.

Thank you Martin for the info.

What happened to the one Gary Numan used to fly?, and while on the subject is he still flying now? Remember seeing both him and the plane at a display at Rendcombe in the late eighties/early nineties.
