This particular aircraft is a Noorduyn-built Harvard Mk.IIb, construction number 14A-868, and was one of 1,500 Noorduyn-produced Harvards that were accepted by the USAAF as AT-16's. With the USAAF, the aircraft was given the serial number 43-12569, but was re-directed to the Royal Canadian AF and given the serial/code of FS728, where it was operated as part of the Empire Air Training Scheme. Following WWII, the aircraft was purchased by the Netherlands Air Force in 1947, where it was given the code B-104. The aircraft was first sold into the civilian market in 1970 and registered in the Netherlands as PH-SKL, before being sold a couple years later to a British owner and re-registered as G-BAFM. During its time in the UK, the aircraft was repainted into overall yellow WWII trainer markings and original RCAF code of FS728. The aircraft remained in the UK until 1995 when it was sold to an owner based in Switzerland and re-registered as HB-RCP. In 2001 the aircraft was sold to a German owner and once again re-registered as D-FRCP. In 2010, the aircraft was sent to MeierMotors for in-depth inspection and maintenance, which then led to a 3-4 year complete restoration, with the aircraft first flying again in 2014, appearing as depicted by this repaint.
The repaint has been uploaded this evening to Flightsim.com, Avsim, and Sim-Outhouse - filename jt_a2a_at6_dfrcp.zip
