Can't help you on that one. The only Mustang accidents I recall were from 1953 and none of them involved bounces and prop strikes. Sgt Jake Newham had a canopy become unlocked on a night take off at Williamtown. The momentary distraction caused him to fail control the usual Mustang swing and he went off the strip and through trees. Luckily he went between two trees leaving the wings behind.
Another was a mid-air collision in early 1953 between a Mustang and a Vampire in cloud near Williamtown. No survivors.
Lastly, early 1953 at Williamtown, Sgt Lloyd Knight had an engine failure on his first Mustang solo. He forced landed on a beach near Morna Point. He was knocked unconscious and woke up with petrol over him. Minor injuries only.
