Hi,

Interesting subject.

According to the following page, the SX-1 was built by the Republic of Korea Naval Ship Yard:

More pics and information on the SX- types can also be found here:

Cannot read a single word from those pages, but the single engined type with the
central float looks like a NAA Harvard and on the first linked site in the description of
that photo, I can at least read "T 6" ...

I've just realized that I had the SX-2 on my HD all along, obviously a derivative of the Mignet Pou du Ciel (contrary to what you wrote, the Grumman-like amphibian was the SX-3, not the SX-2):

Looks more like the Auster B4... (image source, Wiki)

Buhwalhoe also reminds us of the British, Percival EP9 Prospector, though the Percival did not fly until a couple of years later: 1955.
Buhwalhoe wings and tail-plane look like they were "borrowed" from an Aeronca Champ. The US Army flew a few Aeronca Champs as L-16 artillery spotters shortly after WW2.

Thank you for correcting my dear Skyblazer.

Hello. I'm from Korea and I'm interested in history of aviation of my country.

I'm finding out and gathering information about Korean-built-aircrafts in 1950s and found your post including information that cannot be acquired in Korea.

I want to know that where did you get the fourth photo in your post.(see attachment)

Did you clip this from Jane's All the World's Aircraft? Or other book or article?
