Duane and Esther are living in a FEMA trailer right now. He is going to sell his inventory. Esther gave me this for the website for parts. T6.felfip.com. I cannot find the site and she is not very fast with computers. You can call Duane at 620-723-2167. Ron has a little house near Greensburg until a new one is built. thanks

More than just T-6 parts. What else i don't know.

All of Dwane's parts have been purchased by Midwest Texans and have arrived in Huntington, Indiana.

I am glad you got them, Tim.

He had -before the tornado- an impressive stash of AN parts.

Plus, the T-6 airframes and the (I wanted them!) gun packs for the T-6Gs.

Saludos,


Tulio

Hi Tim,

Any info on the gun pods? Didn't know the Duane had anything like that. Are the US or foreign?

We just unearthed one today. I think it is a U.S. design. I haven't really had time to dig into it. To many other parts to sort. We packed two semi's full of boxes of small stuff. I guess most the large stuff didn't make it through the tornado...but we were really after the little things anyways.

The T-6 gunpacks were used by Spanish AF T-6Gs in action, against Polisario guerrillas in North Africa, Spanish Sahara and around El Aaiun, if I remember correctly.

Some T-6s in Africa (Angola, Mozambique) were also armed when in service with the Portuguese AF, and in Kenya, against the Mau-Mau, with the RAF.

With three -at least- different air forces using them, I would hazard a guess that there may have been gunpacks that were probably designed in the UK, Portugal or Spain, besides the American models.

Probably Doug MacPhail would know.

Saludos,


Tulio
