p.s.

You will be redirected to the aviation hobby site – skip intro and look for T-6

Yeah, anyone have a list about differences between SNJ’s, texans, Harvards,…

I took the “SNJ-5” from the markings on the rudder. I’m not that well up on Texan marks to know many differences!

There are so so many variation on the theme it would take ages to try and explain them all. To most people they are either T-6s or Harvards and at times its best left that way Its only T-6 anoraks like myself that seem to note things in detail. I must try and get out more!!

I was involved with the markings of the aeroplane and it was intended to have an overall blue scheme as this was the owner’s wish. All 1945 frontline types were in these colours, but it was very difficult to find a SNJ in this scheme. in the end I found documentation that showed one particular SNJ-5 that was trialled overall blue and this together with other photos and information was used as a basis for what you see today. The serial number is taken from the aeroplane’s previous FAA registration minus the N and the G.

The ‘SNJ’ is really a T-6G and lives at Shoreham. I believe she was up there doing pleasure flights. As TexanTomcat said the aircraft was previously G-BHTH.

Martin

Many thanks. I was on holiday in the area, visiting the National Trust Charlecote Manor, and the carpark was right on the landing approach.

Steve

Just spoke to Martin and its G-TEXN!

looks like G-TEXN – ex G-BHTH – to me -but no doubt Benno or T6Flyer will confirm…
