This restored P-51 is displayed at the Museum of Flight in the colours and markings of Lieutenant Colonel Glenn T. Eagleston while he was CO of the 353rd FS, 354th FG based at Rosières-en-Haye, France. The exact identity of this Mustang is unknown but it is an ex-IAF machine probably acquired by Israel from surplus Royal Swedish Air Force stocks in 1952. The Swedes acquired nearly all of their 100 P-51s from war-surplus USAAF stockpiles in Germany at the end of WWII. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
