Yes Eric,
I got my wings on the Harvard and Squadron Leader Len Trent VC gave me my final handling test:-
That was on the 6th May 1952, seven days before my 19th Birthday...I soloed in Harvard KF265

I'm trying to imagine what 5 Harvards in formation would sound like, particularly in fine pitch !!
PS Peter, 1933 was a very good year

Yes, I guess it was.
BTW It was probably six Harvards if the guy taking the photo was leading

Great pictures Peter. I believe A2A are doing a Harvard, by the way.

Beautiful photo Peter.

Reminds me of when I once flew with an airshow pilot in his US Navy version of the Harvard...the SNJ-5. We were pulling some positive G's when all of a sudden my vision temporarily collapsed to where it looked like I was viewing the world through a small tube.

I'd forgotten to tighten my gut.
