This is a "Super Six" Harvard. It has, among other modifications, shorter wings and a more powerful geared engine with a large Hamilton three-bladed prop. This particular aircraft was delivered to the RCAF in Apr 1941, serial 3771. Struck off charge Dec 1960 and sold as CF-TSV in Mar 1970. Converted to airtanker and operated by Forest Protection Ltd. as Tanker #1 from 1978. Sold in the USA as N90541 in Mar 1987 and restored as a warbird. Acquired by Steffen Busch in July 2007, who took the Harvard with him when he moved from Canada to Germany in Sep 2010.
