mike hallam (#9429),
Let's hear it for the old fella ! Life in old dogs yet ! Wondered if he might have trained on the Harvard himself (our version of the North American AT-6A, on which I trained: the principal difference being that the AT-6A was armed (one forward-firing Browning 0.300. in top RH corner of front panel), but the Harvard was not (at least, none of those I flew later).
But as he would've trained before the Empire Air Training Scheme got under way, it couldn't have been a Harvard (then) but will have flown one afterwards. Did they let him "have a go" ? (I do hope so). How did he get on ?
...Now the video with it shows John looking quite sprightly, pity neither he nor perhaps a friend is on this forum...
Video (any hope of a link ?) And Canada is full of our members - extract digit and do something about it, chaps !
