Photo Comment

This is not the original A68-769, which was a North American built P-51D. This is a Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation built CA-18 Mk 21 with serial A68-110 , delivered to the RAAF as such in 1948. It was restored to flying condition and converted to a P-51D-5-NT by North American in Dallas, Texas in 1999.
