It IS Janie!

Unless I’m very much mistaken…!

I just consulted a 2001 edition of the New Zealand magazine “Classic Wings” which profiles P-51D Mustang 45-11518/NZ2427 – and there’s both colour and black and white pics of the Mustang in her RNZAF days.

Nice one

The extent of the dismantling was eventually rather more extensive than just the outer wings.

Definitely RNZAF looking at the serial number but that’s all I know

Very nice aircraft, I would guess taken in the mid 50’s in New Zealand.

Is it the elusive “Janie” before she was sold onto the civilian market??
