Hello Everybody:

I was wondering if there were any camoflaged Harvard II's in the RAF in WW2? Does anyone have an pictures or data?


Thanks,

Chris

According to the Squadron/Signal Publication "T-6 in Action" (certainly you have that?) the center fold shows a RAF Harvard II in a camouflage scheme worn in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations during the summer of '44.

Does it look like this?



Taken today at Geneseo.

That looks pretty nice.

Different, I've been waiting years to see this one fly. Maybe 2005.

This isn't quite what you were looking for, but here are two others I saw on the circuit last year.

RCAF had some camo Harvard IIs. A few in the Dark Green/Dark Earth over yellow, but a couple of Hacks were in full camo.

PM me for moe info.

There is also a harvard currently flying in Australia in desert camoflauge and based on photo's of an RAF aircraft serving as a squadron hack with 3 Squadron RAAF in the mediteranean theatre, so both the scheme and surviving pics must exist somewhere.
