With the prop noise the Harvards sounded quite aggressive compared with the Chippie
...and just think what it was like with 21 of them!
Warmtoast, am suprised to note that they have the extended exhaust stack, we needed that for cabin heat in Canada
It could get pretty parky in Rhodesia. Thornhill was 4,640ft above sea level and although being in the tropics, the Southern Hemisphere winter could be cold. Get up to 4,000 above ground level and you would be flying at nearly 10,000ft, which at night could be considered brass-monkey cold.
Photo below of the heater pipe showing how it runs into the cockpit after passing through the centre of the exhaust pipe as a rudimentary heat-exchanger. ISTR that the heat control was a butterfly-type valve in the pipe in the cockpit by the right foot that you opened as required. The pipe continued along the fuselage wall into the instructor's seat at the rear which had a similar control.
