Got a question guys: What are the limlits of the Foreign service GB? Ie, must it be 1939-45, or enough for a WW II aircraft in post war service?
Considering a kiwi P-51D-25-NT. We received them in 1945 to replace the F4U-1s, but as hostilities ceased before they could be utilised, they were moth-balled. 6 years later the TAF was formed, and they were pulled from storage, serving from 1951 to 1954/5.
Another option is an RNZAF Mozzie FB.VI in postwar scheme. Atleast some of these were ex 487 (NZ) sqn machines.
