Some photos of T-6s, or Harvards in my neck of the woods. This took place over Easter weekend. They did a flyover of the city and I was fortunate to be on site when they departed. The aircraft were quite away from the hangar where I was photographing them, so I had to use the most of my lens capacity. All these aircraft are ex-RNZAF and are now privately owned and operated. The Harvard was one of the first vintage types to have appeared on the NZ civil register and remains the core of the warbirds movement here.
