Description

English: The North American Aviation T-6 Texan (also known as Harvard) was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the Allied Air Forces during World War II and into the 1950s.

The T-6G, like this one, are earlier models AT-6/T-6s re-built between 1949-1953, which have improved cockpit layout, increased fuel capacity, modified landing gear with steerable tailwheel, updated radios and a 600hp R-1340-AN-1 engine.

This aeroplane served in the South African Air Force before it was bought by the Stampe en Vertongen Museum. It has a 9 cylinder, 600 hp Pratt & Whitney motor.

Nederlands: De North American Aviation T-6 Texan/Harvard is een eenmotorig trainingstoestel waarmee geallieerde piloten werden opgeleid tijdens en na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De T-6G, zoals dit toestel, zijn aangepaste vroegere AT-6/T-6 toestellen, met een betere cockpitinrichting, een grotere brandstofcapaciteit en een aangepast landingsgestel. Dit toestel diende in de Zuid-Afrikaanse luchtmacht, tot het door het Stampe en Vertongen Museum werd verworven.

Het toestel is voorzien van een 600pk sterke Pratt & Whitney 9-cilinder motor.

Image title	Meer dan 22.000 exemplaren werden er gebouwd van deze Amerikaanse trainer. Het toestel diende gedurende de jaren vijftig en zestig, bij zowat iedere luchtmacht en dus ook in ons land. Bij de Belgische luchtmacht, die in totaal meer dan 200 van deze toestellen opereerde, vormde de Harvard de schakel tussen de Stampe SV.4B en de Spitfire. Door zijn omvang, het intrekbare onderstel en de verstelbare schroef, moest de leerling-piloot die tot dan enkel op SV4 had gevlogen, plots een grote stap voorwaarts zetten. Nu is de Harvard zeer populair bij de liefhebbers van oudere vliegtuigen. Ook in Europa, en voor in Engeland en Nederland, zijn heet wat toestellen bewaard gebleven. In de USA zijn er nog tientallen actief. Dit toestel vloog zijn ganse carriere bij de Zuid-Afrikaanse luchtmacht. Het arriveerde in 1995 te Antwerpen en sindsdien maakt het deel uit van het Antwerp Stampe Center. Het toestel is voorzien van een 600pk sterke Pratt & Whitney 9-cilinder motor.
