About "SAAF Harvard - Late Arrival"

SAAF North American Harvard T-6 banks over Port Elizabeth south of the Airport to announce its late arrival and to request permission to land. The first prototype flew in 1937, the T6G had a top speed of 341 kmh at sea level with an operational ceiling of 6500m.
A batch of 9 Mk I's were delivered between 1940 and 1942, and the SAAF took delivery of their first batch of Harvard Mk II's in 1942, with deliveries continuing until four Harvards were purchased from the Belgian Air Force in 1961.
The SAAF operated a number of variants, including the MkII (Designated in the US as AT-6C), Mk III's (designated in the US as AT-6D or SJN-4) and the T-6G, the rebuilt version of World War II vintage machines. (Extract from SAAF Museum web site)

About Don

I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.

EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

PRINTS AVAILABLE:
All my works are available as prints.
