KF183 History
Manufactured by Noordyn Aviation Ltd in Montreal Canada as airframe Number 14A-1884, KF183 arrived at
Liverpool in May 1944. After a modification programme, it was allocated to 7(P) AFU in December 1944 and later
that same month, the aircraft was transferred to No 7 SFTS at Peterborough until October 1945. Following a further
modification programme, KF183 was transferred to No 3 FTS at Feltwell, remaining there until November 1947.
Following this, KF183 was sent to the Air Torpedo Development Unit at Gosport until January 1953 when it was
re-allocated to A&AEE and eventually QinetiQ at MOD Boscombe Down where it has served ever since.
The Harvard makes an excellent camera platform for low speed work and in particular it has been used to film many
parachute dropping trials.
As well as Trials support Photochase, the aircraft is flown by ETPS and for Continuation Training (CT). In addition to
the above the Harvard is used by Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) and Royal Navy Historic Flight (RNHF) and
other selected pilots, as a tail wheel training aircraft.
