✈️ AIRCRAFT ANNOUNCEMENT – CONFIRMED FOR THE VICTORY SHOW 2026! 🇬🇧

We’re delighted to confirm that North American T-6 Harvard G-CJWE “Dazzling Debs” will be joining the aircraft line-up at The Victory Show 2026!

Known as “The Pilot Maker,” the Harvard was the advanced trainer that prepared generations of pilots for the demanding frontline fighters of the era.

Built in 1952 by Canadian Car & Foundry, G-CJWE is a Harvard Mk.IV which originally served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. After time in the USA as N13595, she was brought to the UK and completely restored by Air Leasing at Sywell Aerodrome in 2017.

Today, “Dazzling Debs” wears a striking post-war USAF California Air National Guard T-6G Texan livery and is based locally at Leicester Airport.

Another fantastic aircraft CONFIRMED for September! ✈️🙌
