Great selection ! especially seeing the two Mustangs that got me hooked to Warbirds in general and P-51’s in particular many moons ago, in one thread….

N6340T Moose / Candyman (then TFC) and
G-HAEC in RAAF colors (then OFMC)

really appreciated !

That red one looks like it could’ve become Candyman before becoming Moose?

nope – Candyman / Moose is 44-73149 and used reg. N6340T when racing at Reno and for some time when brought over by Stephen Grey

It had a white line along the fuselage

sad but true – the Lambeth P-51D would have been another flyer.
I will soon (coming weekend) post pictures showing this aircraft under rebuild at Duxford back in 1984.

don’t we all wish to have that, Ronnie ?

this is the best we can work from

Mark – all’s in the green here…..
As Steve already pointed out, the F-6A designation was given to the repossessed P-51 (Allison engined) and subsequently the F-6B was the photoship version of the P-51A (Allison engined. When switching to the Packard V-1650 Merlin and with the opening of another Mustang production line at Dallas TX, i.e. P-51B (Inglewood, CA, production) and P-51C (Dallas, TX, production), the next photoship variant of both the P-51B and P-51C was designated F-6C….

But there indeed were a number of F-6B’s deployed to Europe that also were retrofitted with Malcolm hoods – 107th and 109th TRS, 9th AAF.

43-6046 AX-B comes to mind.

same here – those uploaded directly here don’t open unless I click them; those remote-linked from photobuckets show.

It’s the uploading tool
