Real Harvard/T-6 Photos

[PaulBradley]

Rather than take over the Historical References thread, here's a thread for photos of real Harvards and T-6s.

I've taken a few over the years; here's a sample illustrating some of the many different colour schemes worn by the T-6 Harvard family.


First, some real RAF aircraft (well, A&AEE):



KF183, Hurn, 1984




FT375, Middle Wallop 1984



KF183, Middle Wallop, 1986





EZ407, RNHF, HMS Daedalus, 1986


And various warbirds (I don't have all the serials for these):




Valle, AZ, 1999





North Weald, 1987




Mildenhall 1987


This one is converted to look like an NA-50. Taken at Luke AFB, 1995:






also at Luke, 1995



A trio seen at Richmond, Australia, 1988:








...and a pair taken at North Weald in 1987:

Hope you like some picture I've taken about the Texan (Canadian built, ex RAF) preserved in Vigna di Villa, Italian Air Force Museum, in Italian Markings.
"All-Orange", was the last livery of Italians T6.

Great images, thanks. These will prove very useful.

Great pics! Here's the one I'm building.
Hanging at the air museum in Bodø. Too far away for me to visit.

Great photos. The world is your lobster* when it comes to colour schemes for these! So many to choose from.

The shots of the Boscombe pair took me back about 40 years to RAF Bassingbourn when the open day had a Harvard fly in. Sadly I didn't possess a camera in those days:(
