<p>Despite being delivered to the UK in 1945, this Mustang didn't see any active service and instead returned to the US. It remained in USAF serivce with various Air National Guard units until demobbed in 1958. After a period of civil operation, it was reworked by Cavalier Aircraft and in 1968 it joined the Fuerza Aerea Salvadoreña (El Salvador Air Force) who operated it until 1974. There is every chance that it saw combat in the 1969 soccer war and may have come up against what is now the Red Bull F4U-4 Corsair, which was in FAH service at the time!
Painted in the colours of the 352FG based at Bodney during 1944, she was a well known warbird in the US, however it was sold to France in early 2013 and was making it's first appearance at Legends.
Actual US military serial 44-73656.
