Built as an F-5G-6-LO and formerly 44-53186 with the USAAF. Modified for aerial survey work in 1946 and here probably in the hands of Mike Hurd Mapping Co. After restoration by David Tallichet of Hollywood fame it was sold to UK collector Doug Arnold in 1988, reportedly with marks G-MURU reserved but never worn. Supposedly this is the Lightning on display at Evergreen Vintage Aircraft at McMinnville/OR, however a P-38L carrying a former N# of this one (N505MH) and an impossible c/n is registered to an owner at Stow/MA. After so much re-building and parts swapping - who knows?
