Hi all,

Still no info where EZ259 is? Bit surprised. Or disappointed 🙂

Things like that don’t get lost these days, or?

Hi SeaDog,

Thanks. You are right about those “hacks”; during WW2, but also post WW2 with the USAF in Europe. There were some 15-20 in use with the USAF ETO during WW2.

Hi,

I do have a copy of a magazine (don’t know where/when) with an AT-16-ND Harvard IIB (43-12888) in USAAF marking at Y-32 Ophoven, taken by William L. Swisher in February 1945, still having the fuselage stripes. Do remember to have seen another one (drawing or photo), of an AT-6D, with similar markings at Gosselies, also Belgium.

Regards,

Benno

(Just wondering why this question. Is one thinking of having her/his Harvard/Texan painted with D-Day markings???)

Hi Pimpernel,

Thanks for feedback. The reason for questioning this is pretty simple; 43-13984 just isn’t a Harvard or AT-6D serial 🙂

The USAAF ETO used several AT-16-ND Harvards, these were (e.g.) 43-12881, 43,12888, 43-12968, 43-12977, 43-12982, 43-12984, 43-12994, 43-13048. All initially supposed to go to the RAF.
The USAAF ETO used several AT-6D Texans, these were (e.g.) 41-34609 / 41-34625. There were no AT-6Ds at all with FY43.

Although there are several publications “telling” it’s a AT-6D and “telling” it’s 43-13984 this simply is not correct. Most likely it’s 43-12984, a Harvard IIB, which was supposed to become RAF FT243.

Hi forumreaders,

Still haven’t heard where EZ259 is today. Who can help? Is it listed in “wrecks and relics”, and if yes, where? Thanks in advance.

Ben,

That one (FX322) is believed to be ex French Air Force (and RAF of course); not ex Sandhurst.

Nice colourscheme; WW2 Raydon basehack

Harvard IV @ Meiers

Hi Mathias, (and other forum readers),

In a couple of pictures the registration can be seen on the tail; hard to read though. Other pix do not show this.

Seems to be N997RD, former Italian Air Force MM53806.

Can you please confirm and let us know where it will be based in the (near) future ?

Thanks in advance.

Harvard G-BMJW, EZ259

Hi all,

Just wondering if this one was seen last year. Or is it going to be “on public display” at one of the many WW2 vehicle gatherings when spring is there ?

All info very much appreciated. TIA

Hi,

The Belgian Air Force had two for evaluation in the early fifties, however decided to go for the Stampe SV-4 as their initial trainer.

destroyed; Yale, not Texan

Hi,

I see in the listing (nr. 20) that a T-6G Texan, with serial 51-14351 is reported to have been destroyed by the fire in May 1990. I don’t think this is correct. It was later (July 2000) stored at Yvetot (photoproof, and incl dataplate) and later became HB-RDC. Unfortunately she was lost in a fatal accident at Colombier on October 27, 2007 as such.

There was another North American product destroyed though. Noeth American NA-64 “Yale”, with c/n 64-2224, former (NAA64-P2-No.192(FAF)), 3415(RCAF), C-GAPL, N3415C
