Notes:

This 1943 T-6 was one of 5000 supplied to Britain and the Commonwealth Air Forces for use as combat trainers for fighter pilots. It later went to the South African Air Force where it was converted for use as an advanced weapons trainer, with hard points for weapons pylons and machine guns. In 1978 it went to a private British collector, then in 1989 to Anthony Hodgson. In 2011 it was sold to current owner Phillip Lawton. It is seen here displaying at the Throckmorton Wings & Wheels event.
