A truly international trainer, this CCF built Harvard was delivered to the US Air Force (53-4623). It was operated by the USAFE in Germany until passed to the Luftwaffe in 1956. Transferred to the Portuguese Air Force in 1964, it was used for counter insurgency operations in Angloa. Abandoned in Mozambique in 1974, it was displayed in the capital of Maputo. In the 1980's, the South African Air Force bought T-6s remaining in Mozambique to keep their own aircraft flying. Sold in 1995 , the airframe passed through several owners while undergoing restoration, flying again in 2018.
