Mustang P51 45-11513 "NZ2423" fly's again



Had flown 260.55 hrs when placed into storage in 1957. To auction by the NZ govt.

From the John Smith collection. A farmer near Nelson he bought some old aircraft in 1950'-1960's. He died in 2019.
Had a Tiger Moth, P-51D Mustang as well as a pair of P-40 Kittyhawks and a Mosquito.
The Mosquito engines now run.
