RTAF – NORTH AMERICAN T-6D, T-6F & T-6G

 

Total of 220 T-6’s of all variants delivered:-

 

·          30 T-6D (1/91 to 30/91) bought from Temco, Dallas, Tx 1948

·          60 T-6D (31/93 to 90/93) acquired 1950, of which the first 30 (at least) were bought from North American Aviation, Los Angeles, Ca.

·          30 T-6F (91/94 to 120/94) delivered 1951 (before 01-Jul) probably on board CVE-88 Cape Esperance (at Bangkok 17-Apr-51 to 25-Apr-51); note also a 'large batch' was reported dd 1951 on board CVE-88 Cape Esperance (at Bangkok 28-Aug-51 to 07-Sep-51)

·          25 T-6D (121/94 to 145/94) delivered 1951

·          75 T-6G (146/00 to 220/00) supplied under MAP 1957/58

 

Reports of  60 (or 63) T-6G delivered early 1950’s, and 30 T-6G in 1962, are believed to be in error

 

Accidents to unidentified T-6’s have been on 18-Aug-50, 003-Sep-51, 06-Sep-51, 04-Oct-53, 29-Dec-55, 15-May-62, 15-Jan-64, 28-Jan-70, 11-Apr-70 & 03-Nov-70

 

The identities of the T-6’s preserved at Khampaeng Saen (‘RR.220’), Prachuap Khiri Khan (‘53’),  and with CATC in Bangkok (possibly F8-185/00), are unconfirmed.

 

The following has been assembled from personal observations and research, together with reference to many official Royal Thai Air Force sources, US sources, and with additional data from Marco Dijkshoorn and Sakpinit Promthep. Particular thanks to Benno Goethals for adding much to the raw data, and to Johan van der Wei for the results of his MAP research.
