Former civilian-operated target tug with the registration VH-BOZ. Sold in the UK in 1979 (planned to become G-MUST) but an attempt to ship it out with a rare Messerschmitt Bf109 stopped by Customs. Both impounded. The Bf109 now with the Australian War Memorial. After almost 20 years the Mustang was sold and became VH-URZ in 2014. Marked VH-BOZ in this 2019 photo but it was not until 2022 that it officially took up that identity. VH-BOZ had been in use on a derelict Cessna 402 that was finally cancelled from the register in 2021.
