Sea Fury - 9 August 1952, FAA pilot Lieutenant Peter "Hoagy" Carmichael Royal Navy (2nd from right with his aircraft WJ232) downed a MiG-15. I believe this was the first piston against jet success of the Korean War.

Unable to find any substantiation of P-51 successful engagements against Migs during the Korean conflict.

The Griffon engined Mustang may be a confusion with the Australian built CA-15, which was a Griffon powered P-51 look alike, a completely new design and did not incorporate any Mustang “bits”. Only one prototype was built.
The only Griffon powered Mustangs are those modified for the Reno races.
The aircraft referred to by effortless merely used Mustang bits and pieces (eg wings), as he says, and is by no means a modified Mustang.
