These walk-around photos were taken at Västerås Flygmuseum in 2017. They show a Noorduyn AT-16 Harvard IIB, c/n 14-526, displaying its wartime USAAF serial 42-12279 and RAF serial FE-792 with the name "Mean Machine" — an airworthy veteran with an unusually varied career. The Harvard was the standard advanced trainer of the Allied air forces during the Second World War, built in vast numbers by Noorduyn Aviation in Montreal under licence from North American. In Swedish service it was designated Sk 16A and served as the Air Force's standard advanced trainer from the late 1940s, with 147 examples acquired from American surplus stocks. This particular aircraft was built in 1943 and served with the USAAF and RAF before being allocated in 1947 to the Swedish Air Attaché in Washington DC with the code SE-01 — one of few Swedish military aircraft to serve on foreign soil in peacetime. During a belly landing at Newark, New Jersey in February 1949 it suffered an electrical fire but was repaired by the USAF. Shipped to Sweden around 1951 and assembled at the Central Flygverkstaden in Arboga, it entered Flygvapnet service as Sk 16A serial 16144, serving with F 7 Såtenäs and F 6 Karlsborg until the type was retired in 1972. Sold that same year and registered SE-FUZ in 1973, it remains airworthy at Västerås Flygmuseum.
