The Swedish Air Force purchased two NA-16 aircraft, to be used as pattern aircraft for license production by AJSA (later Saab). They served as trainers with F5 at Ljungbyhed and were given the designation Sk14. No Sk14s survive, and this example is a replica built by enthusiasts of the Svensk Flyhistorik Förening, the propeller, landing gear and tires are from different, original aircraft, the rear fuselage and wingtips come from an RAAF Wirraway and most other parts originate from a Canadian Yale. The remaining details were finished according to original drawings. A true composite aircraft!

A nosewheel Harvard? Well, an NA-16. The fixed tailwheel gear NA-16 was introduced by Sweden before WWII. 52 Sk14s, plus 83 Sk14As with Piaggio engines, were built by ASJA and Saab. Some of these were modified to Sk14N standard with a nosewheel to train Saab J21 pilots. The tailwheel was simply retained. The SFF website indicates that serial number 696 was coded 5-105 on the photo date. Photo by: Flygvapenmuseum

Designated Sk14 in Sweden, the NA-16 advanced trainer was the progenitor of the famous AT-6 Texan / Harvard - note fixed landing gear, smaller engine, mixed construction and rounded rudder. This is an impressive reconstruction from an Australian CA-7 Wirraway, A20-223, and a Canadian NA-64 Yale.
