Not in the league of some of the other photoshoots here, and stripped from a video...but I thought this might be of interest to some.
The Warbirds guys had an open day, and I found a Harvard or two in process of being worked on.

I hadn't seen the insides quite like this before

Great shots. :applause:

I thought , they look like Kiwi Harvards, and then I saw who posted them :icon_lol:

Didn't get to the open day at Ardmore as I had to hold the fort down at Tauranga.

Thanks Pete, the Harvard collection just seems to grow in NZ.
There was one with a prop spinner as well, assume that would be a T6 then?
Gavin Conroy has a couple of great shots of it. (http://nzff.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=11001)

Rotarys??? Radials.

Charl that Harvard photo you linked to is ZK-WAR which was the founding member of the NZ Warbirds..looks good in its new US Navy scheme.

Edit: actually I guess you knew that

Prop Gear Ratio 1-1

Prop tips supersonic...still haven' t heard this done properly in flightsim, such a distinctive blat.

Thanks Paul, I couldn't place it.
Looks way better than the previous camo garb.
I see it's an AT-6D, did they have prop bosses or is that part of the Navy masquerade?

I just love those big Radials.......


I get as excited hearing one fire up as I do every time I fire up my 95" Harley.
