Don't know the serial number of the CAF bird but more than likely this is a early x-Navy bird scrapped at NAS Clinton post war.

Mmm...not sure if it's answered yet. I can't get to a Lockheed book that may explain more 'til tomorrow. I'm curious what Pooner
or one of them folks think. What's a T-8? 18-2598, is actually the manufacturer c/n and it's AAF serial was 43-16438 and onward to RCAF as 565...according to the Baugher list. His list has it as L18-2598. There is another 18-2598, but it's a Piper L-21B..so it's out.
Fun with old registration paperwork keeps many scratching their heads from time to time. Ask the Lockheed big twin guys..

Ooops, sorry I lost track of this one. Let Bipe215 have em. I'm clearing out 3 storages this year and since Ike, I've really not
the space to enjoy them.
As for, "What is a T-8?" A misstamped 18 of course...lack of oxygen after 2wks of walking pneumonia! Sheesh...
