Nicely done Mic.

Trivia point that someone may be able to answer (I can't)...


Obviously us Brits know the NA T-6 family as the Harvard in UK service. The USAAF called it the Texan in it's T-6 guise, but did the USN also officially call their SNJ (as shown in Mic's shot above) the Texan too, or was it simply known as the SNJ?

That -152 looks soo crampt!  :o

I believe the USN version was known as the SNJ. Although it's in USN markings this one (G-TEXN) is actually an AT-6G Texan currently operated by the Real Flying Co at Shoreham. I found a detailed history of G-TEXN including the development history of the type. http://www.thunderprop.co.uk/T6.htm

Excellent shots. Nice and sharp.

Ah yes, on deeper reading it's the aircraft in which Euan English was killed in 1995 (just after he'd bought one of the BBMF's Spit XIXs).

Your knowledge & memory on aviation matters never ceases to amaze me.

G-BHTH and the mention of a landing crash rang a bell. Very conveniently (for business) they don't mention it as fatal. Mind you, there are a fair few historic airframes which have been involved in fatal accidents flying nowadays (including at least one Spit, and two more under rebuild).

Uneasy ethical situation? I'm not too sure.

I think that Cirrus is on the wrong side of the pond.

Seems someone must have switched. I saw a G-regged Arrow departing N40 the other day.

Ah sweet shots  8-)
Love the navy one

There's a lot of FAA registered aircraft in the UK now. I think it has something to do with cheaper maintenance.

Great set! Shows that even "ordinary" aircraft can be interesting subjects.
