Aircraft Description

The ‘Harvard’ is an American designed aircraft used extensively as a single-engined advanced fighter trainer for military pilots.

After World War II, under the Mutual Defence Assistance Program (MDAP), Canadian Car & Foundry (CC&F) in Fort William, Ontario, built the Harvard Mk. IV Aircraft. The Mk. IV was similar to the US Air Force T-6G Texan.

CC&F built 555 Mk. IVs in total, of which many were supplied to European Air Forces to train post war military pilots, a number of these also went on to serve in post WWII conflicts.

This Aircraft initially served with the West German Luftwaffe until 1955 when it was sold to the Portuguese Air Force. The aircraft saw action in Mozambique following a long military campaign before eventually being retired from Military Service in 1995 and subsequently sold to a Private owner in South Africa. The Aircraft then went through a ‘ground up’ rebuild and is widely considered one of the finest examples flying today.
