It looks like a Mustang but in fact is the one-off Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation CA-15 fighter, powered by a Rolls Royce Griffon engine it was claimed as the fastest piston engined fighter of its time. Ultimately (and very unfortunately) it was broken up after the engine was returned to British stocks.
However... the drawings have survived and a complete cockpit section has been scratch built at Moorabbin.
