Built in Australia in 1951, this is a licence built version of the P-51D Mustang and issued serial A68-912. Remained unused in storage until 1958 when sold as VH-FCB. Passed through the hands of several owners until in 1973 she crashed on landing and was rebuilt using parts from 44-72917 (ex-Phillipine AF P-51). From 1975 until 1985 she was rebuilt in Hong Kong as PI-C651 then appearing in RAAF colours as VR-HIU before being moving on to The Old Flying Machine Company in 1985 as G-HAEC. In February 2011 she was sold in Germany as D-FBBD and sadly crashed at Duxford in July of that year after colliding mid air with Skyraider F-AZDP. The Skyraider landed successfully whilst the Mustang pilot bailed out and the Mustang crashed. Thankfully there were no injuries.
Douglas Skyraider AD4N originally delivered to the French Air Force in 1960. She was one of over one hundred Skyraiders operated by the French, mainly for Algerian operations.
