Doubt very much that Bruce Clarke ever flew Tony's Mustangs and definitely not with a canopy removed
Bill, Thanks for the fascinating back ground.
Bruce Clarke and I were Airways Surveyors in adjacent offices at DCA 188 Queen St in Melbourne in 1969 -70. I remember he had this tiny thumbnail type photo in his wallet and it was him sitting in the Mustang sans canopy. One doesn't forget that recollection lightly as it was so unusual. You may be right that he didn't fly the Mustang although my recollection is he told me he did and it was noisy without the canopy. He said he did a couple of circuits. I had no reason not to believe him. As you may know he died from a heart attack around 1977 while at his desk at DCA. He complained of feeling unwell then simply keeled over
