The T-6G appears to have an unique rudder. Wonder what that originated from?

Can’t really get my head round the ‘warbird top table’! I would rather see a for example a Cessna O-2 with combat history fly at a display than any number of ‘top table’ stuff that never fired a shot in anger !

Hear, hear, my thoughts entirely…….

Not many people probably know this, but Rob Davies’ Harvard Mk.4 G-TVIJ saw combat in Angola and Mozambique from 1966 until 1974 serving with AB5 At Nacala, AB6 at Nova Frexico and then AB7 at Tete. IMHO a true ‘Warbird’.

Best wishes,

Hi everybody,
Just want to wish you all a very Happy New Year when it comes, what will you be doing when it comes?.
Me?,I shall be working……..,
8 till 8.

Asleep I hope, as off next day to indulge in a bit of flying (but as this lovely weather we’re all having at the moment, think the only thing I’ll be flying is a kite!).

Best wishes to all forumites!!

Hello Folks,
The Harvard’s paint scheme is due for a change which we’re hoping will revert it back to its 8 SFTS BCATP scheme. Tom

Sorry for asking, but which Harvard is this?

And who can forget the wonderful ‘Iron Eagle 4’ with Mk.4s shooting down F-5s (sorry F-16s!) 🙂

A T-6 finishes off Das Boot…….

I was brave enough to sit and watch ‘Where Eagles Dare’ the other day and noticed for the first time that the Harvards that were butchered by Mr Burton and his snowplough were AT-6Ds and not the usual Harvard Mk.IIBs.

As I believe that the film was shot in Switzerland and they had Mk.IIBs, where did these airframes come from?

If you sad enough to run the same section through again in slow motion (I am), you can see that the sequence must have been shot more than once as a number of the airframes in the line have already damaged elevators, before the snowplough reaches them.
