The Marines colour scheme is just a masquerade for this Harvard, which was built to an RAF order as EX743 (assigned USAAF serial 41-33716) but diverted to New Zealand. Arrived in August 1943 and assigned serial NZ1040. Served with the RNZAF until 1978 and sold on 1 May. Stored until '83 when acquired by the Confederate Air Force (NZ Wing) as restoration project. Registration ZK-REB was reserved, but sold to Mareeba, Qld., on 2 Oct '99. Registered VH-XXH on 7 Mar '00 and first flight 11 Jul '01.
