THE T-6 STRUCK THE C-150 FROM BEHIND WHILE BOTH WERE TAXIING FOR TAKEOFF. THE C-150 WAS STOPPED AT THE TIME. THERE WAS AN ANNUAL FLY-IN BEING HELD AT THE ARPT WITH ABOUT 300 ACFT IN ATTENDANCE. GROUND PERSONNEL WERE DIRECTING GROUND TRAFFIC. THE T-6 PLT SAID HE WAS MOTIONED FORWARD BY GROUND PERSONNEL WHO HE RELIED ON BECAUSE HE WAS UNABLE TO SEE DIRECTLY AHEAD OF THE NOSE OF HIS ACFT. HE ALSO SAID THE TAXIWAY WAS TOO NARROW, WITH INADEQUATE CLEARANCE ALONGSIDE IT TO ALLOW HIM TO DO S-TURNS.
