Warbird Information Exchange

I was wondering if there was a list availible of the T-6's that went to south africa and were sold back into the warbid market. What I was looking for is the serial number for a certain T-6/SNJ I have the Serial number off the data plate on the airplane, but cannot find it in the Warbird worldwide book. The serial number is 88-17678, and the registration is N645DS. I have several Pictures and would like to find out some more about this airplane.

Thank You

Jim Fox's old SNJ is N6972c and based in FL with Max Matthews. He'll be at Kenosha with it.
