    Agreed, looks like North American AT-6 Texan (or Harvard when in UK use).
  • Michael Bludworth said:
    @fulvue, yes, but those fin stripes make them AAF for sure. From this angle the viewer cannot ascertain if the gear is retractable - or not. But...because there are so many...AT-6 is a very safe guess!
  • John Linwood said:
    Is the curved rudder more indicative of a BT-9 than the later AT-6 which had a straight edged rudder?

    Well, if this site is accurate: home.att.net/~jbaugher/thirdseries1.html it suggests the tail section on which they are working is from a Grumman TBF-1 Avenger.
  • Gerry Asher said:
    The aircraft is a Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon.

    At first I was unconvinced as I couldn't find any images of an SNC-1 showing that round access hatch, but I did finally find one at: www.wisbechaeroclub.co.uk/Scale Drawings/images/C/Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon/Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon (1).jpg although now I'm left confused about the tail number :)
