Hello all,

I'm looking for information about one Harvard who fly with the South African Air Force, her name is Nelson because she was damaged a lot of time in South African Air Force Service but she was always repaired..;

I'm Looking about some photo of her and her complete history if it is possible, and and who became his owner since his collection of active service

Hard question? :lol:

Jim Beasley imported 3 T-6s from SA in mid 90s.
Was Nelson sold when the T-6 fleet was retired or was it sold prior to that date?
Did this one have a civil registration and have a private owner while still in SA?

I know that Nelson must be sold I seem to me to you to him but have never found the slightest trace beyond of an article of press in France

I have the answer,

Nelson (aka #7111) is always in duty with the South African Air Force museum, Nelson was fataly crashed two time and three accidents but always repaired...

Here is a virtual wiew of Nelson...

Here Nelson...

Nelson is so called in memory of the admiral Nelson (also bumped by numerous time as the plane Nelson!)
