in the late 60's, when I was at 37 Sqdn, two of our pilots found two Mustangs in southern NSW.

The used to borrow Doctor Fisher's Lockheed 12, take a bunch of mechanics with them, and got one flying.

They were showing a movie in the crew room, of their activities, when they were sprung by the CO.

When getting a dressing down, he produced his log book, where one was listed that he flew to Tocumal.

His comments that was the last time it was serviced, where a hint to give the program away.

These two aircraft were sold in the USA as well.

Regards
