VH-BOZ CAC CA18
Mustang Mk.
22
(c/n 1524)

This is a much later Mustang than the
previous example (VH-BOY), being ex
A68-199. It also
was
registered to Fawcett Aviation (one of its entereprises was the
Illawarra Flying
School).
In 1979
it was ostensibly sold to
Warbirds of GB Ltd (Douglas Arnold) and assigned the registration
G-MUST. David Muir reports
"Although
granted an Export Permit ‘Yankee’ was involved in an attempt to smuggle
the ex
Marshall
Collection Messerschmitt Bf 109G out of Australia and was impounded
by Customs.
Eventually it
made its way to the RAAF
Museum and
recently to Tyabb where it is now owned
by Graham
Hosking."
Seen below
are two prints from slides recently digitized (2008) by Maurice Austin
for
the CAHS
archives of -BOZ at
Adelaide in the 1970s. It would appear that the
Mustang was target towing
at the time as the
winch is fitted and it is receiving attention from the pilot.
