| Looking for Canadian/British P-51A pics... I'm looking for a couple of reference pics for the P-51, but of a rather specific nature: -P-51A -WW-II era (can be a pic of a restored fighter; colour photos preferred), with Canadian or British markings -detail on any tail markings, nose art, and kill-markings. Thanks in advance for any help. |

 | A little something: http://www.cbrnp.com/profiles/quarter2/mustangs.htm Mustang Mk. I's (P-51A's) weren't used that extensively by the RCAF or RAF. |

  | P-51A being restored There is a P-51A being restored in Wahpeton, ND, close to me. It should be flying by the end of the summer, according to Gerry Beck who is in charge of the construction. I have attached some shots. They are not the best because the flash didnt want to work, but they are what i have. I aked Gerry what colors it would be painted in last time i was down there, and he said then havent even thought about that. With a little luck, it may be Brittish or Canadian colors (he just finished a P-51D in August in Canadian colors, see last attached photo) |

| Cool. Post-war markings, obviously. I can just make out the top of the leaf.  |

| He wants a British of Canadian Mustang, so you post a yank one!  Here's what I've got. They're not all colour, but they're all RAF or RCAF Mustang Mk.I. I hope they help.
