The P-51’s went to Israeli Air Force (Al Schwimmer’s- Intercontinental Airways INC). The airport is Glindail,CA. The Mustangs were stored there for a short time until the facility in Burbank was been ready.

All the best

…tiny correction 😉 – it’s Glendale, earlier better known as Grand Central Air Terminal,
and according to this source http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_LA_C.htm
the caption reads: “A fabulous 1949 picture by Don Ayres of the Moseley’s Aircraft Overhaul & Repair Station hangars at Grand Central, with an amazing assemblage of P-51s, B-25s, and a C-47.”

It very probably is this one although when I saw it it was still in RNZAF colours. It does look as though it has had a recent respray doesn’t it? Thanks for the “heads-up” anyway.

Ok! Maybe this one

Unfortunately I don’t have any photographs but I’m fairly sure there was at least one Devon at the museum at Wanaka airport in New Zealand when I was there three years ago. Like most stuff there it was a non-flyer.

Guess you mean this on ZK-RNG

Thanks fellas for both answers, just one more, does the other military 404 still exist, if so where?, or can I assume it was scrapped long ago.
Gerry R

To my understanding
c/n 14290 was destroyed in Venezuela Nov 10, 1978
c/n 14291 was scrapped at M. Graham Clark Airport (PLK) Oct 1974
and the three photos in your first post show c/n 14235 painted as 1282

Too young to remember the Auster and Rapide but I do remember the Cessna. Quite distinctive when parked on a ramp
