Flew via Coober Pedy. There is a film of it arriving in a cloud of white dust at Coober
Was escorted I believe from there to Para by DCA in their AeroComm.
Enormous **** fight ensued, Tone got the naughty corner, P51 exported, rest is history
That P51 BTW was the first off the line at CAC
Thats big Tone peering into the cockpit and faithful sidekick Pierce Dunne peering into the guts.
Tony still floating around Para somewhere, ask him.
