Photo Comment

Originally ordered by France but was taken on strength by the Royal Air Force and is believed to be one of the aircraft dragged across the Canadian/American border by a team of horses so as not to violate the US Neutrality Act prior to that country's entry into WWII in December 1941. (Information from the T6Harvard.com web site).
