Photo Comment

Mike Falls' Harvard used to appear more often than it seems to these days, so it was a welcome sight at the RAAF Museum Air Pageant. Built to a USAAC order as AT-6D 41-34382, it went instead to the USN as an SNJ-5B, Bu43647. Sold ex NAS Litchfield Park, AZ, 24 Jul 57 and became N3274G with Growers Aerial Service, Imperial, CA. Several subsequent owners. Acquired by Mike Falls and shipped to Toowoomba, Qld, '89. Based at Essendon, Vic, since 1 Feb 90.
