Yes Lucky, unless it was Group CO's ship, most everybody in the flight would fly a specific Mustang. The pilot assigned to the ship by seniority (RHIP) had 'naming rights and would fly this ship except when damaged or under maintenance.

For example, my father always had WR-B but others would fly it when he wasn't flying that day..

Cool DD! Any pics of that machine?

Thanks lads!

Have you closed the fueslage halves up yet? Minor detail, but the large radiators should be copper, not aluminium!

Cheers Brother! Just working on them occasionally. It's not a PTO Group Build if that's what you mean mucka. Was going to add the Pacific '51 to that GB, but decided not to, since I'm gonna try the Clad II when time come....

Did a bit on the Mustangs today and managed to make a bit of an *rse of myself....

Colin1 · 10-08-2009, 03:37 PM

Can't really make it out
is it deep, or will it buff out?

Good to see them back on the bench

Lucky13 · 10-08-2009, 03:39 PM

Cheers! They're not mate....just a light rub and buff.
