Some info to cry in your beer about.....Whilst doing my CPL I worked in the hangar at Schutts at Moorabbin in 58/59. Three Mustangs were converted to civilian register...UWB,AUB,WAS. One day I was looking through the file of one of them and here was a reciept from the Dept of Supply for 250 Quid for 1 Mustang..total time 900 odd hours.
Also another reciept for a zero hour,inhibited and crated Merlin engine....10 quid!!
