Why's it called a Commonwealth aircraft CA18 rather than a North American P51?
Built under licence in Oz by Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation.

The 300 quid for a flying Mustang blew me away.
How about 50 quid? The legendary Chris A-a-a-a-a-Braund bought 2 for 50 pounds each, and used to fly them around the country air shows doing flour bombing. Then DCA decreed that they needed X-ray crack testing, so Chris sold the first one to cover the second's tests, and later sold the second one to pay for the divorce! AIDS strikes yet again.
