This aircraft was actually built as AT-6C Harvard Mk II, USAAF 41-33767, to an RAF order (EX794). It was, however, shipped straight to New Zealand in August 1943 and became NZ1051. It served with the RNZAF until 1978 when it was sold. It flew for a time in these fake Japanese markings before being repainted into a non-authentic but stunning US Navy colour scheme.
