Registered in 2004 after restoration to flight between 1999 and 2003 which followed recovery from a theme park at Recanati. Originally built in 1944 as AT-6D for the USAAF, in 1951 it was converted to T-6G with a new c/n and soon found its way to the AMI under the MDAP programme. It is now painted to represent a T-6C as operated by 604º Gruppo/4º Stormo at Grosseto.

This P-51 was assigned to the 318th Fighter Squadron in 1944, part of the 'Checkertail Clan' of the 325th Fighter Group, hence the colours in which it now flies. It is no stranger to Italy, having been based at Lesina on Italy's southern Adriatic coast. The unit flew escort missions for bombers attacking Romanian, German, Austrian, Czechoslovak and Hungarian oil and synthetic fuel processing facilities. Operated with the MN ANG post-war and then registered N7710C and CF-FUZ. Now German-based.

Taken on strength by the USAF in 1952 as 51-12386 and later transferred to the Army, then the South Vietnamese Air Force, retaining the same serial. Struck off in 1970, there was then some uncertainly about the aircraft's real identity when it was civilianised, eventually emerging as N305BD (with confirmed c/n 22761) in a light grey USAF scheme after 1979. The current USMC colours are a fairly recent development.

The 72-year-old machine, which served the USAF as SA-16B 51-7186, is seen here completing a four-hour flight from Bergen after a European tour. It has since been based at Southampton and is likely to remain in the UK for the summer 2024 season. The logo on the tail is that of Meyers Manx, a dune buggy manufacturer.

Based on the wartime G.55 fighter, the G.59 used the Merlin engine. Produced in A (single-seat) and B (two-seat advanced trainer) versions, the type entered service in 1950. The later -4 versions featured a cut-down rear fuselage and bubble canopy. Exports to Argentina and Syria were achieved. This survivor was first exhibited in Turin before moving to the Italian AF Museum and had been modified in service from -2B to -4B standard.
