Request for Centaurus or other Mustang pilots

I'm searching for an incident report I read quite a long time ago concerning a Mustang with an inexperienced pilot doing touch and goes at, I think, RAAF East Sale, and hoping to enlist the help of Centaurus or others who may know where I could find an account of the occurrence.

Not sure of the time frame, but certainly back in the days when the RAAF operated them, rather than it being a warbird type situation.

It made amazing reading - as I recall, there were some 'high and dangerous bounces' during which the prop clipped the runway, but unaware of this, the pilot kept on going for a few more circuits. I was talking about it the other day to someone and said I would try to find the actual report.

Many thanks in advance,

Tim
