EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Commonwealth CA-18 Mk. 21 Mustang, registration number VH-BOB / A68-014 (msn 1429), as it gracefully takes to the skies during the late 1970s or early 1980s. Delivered to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) on November 20, 1947, this iconic P-51D Mustang served as an essential component of the Australian aviation fleet for several decades. The CA-18 Mk. 21 Mustang, a variant of the North American P-51D Mustang, was a single-seat, long-range fighter and fighter-bomber used primarily for daylight interception and ground attack roles. This particular Mustang, VH-BOB / A68-014, was one of over 400 Mustangs that were operated by the RAAF between 1946 and 1957. The Mustang's distinctive sleek design, powerful engine, and agile handling made it a formidable aircraft during its time. In this photograph, we see the Mustang soaring high above the ground, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. The Australian flag emblazoned on the side of the fuselage proudly displays the national colors, symbolizing the aircraft's dedication to the RAAF and the country it served. As a symbol of the rich aviation history of the Commonwealth, this photograph captures the essence of the CA-18 Mk. 21 Mustang, VH-BOB / A68-014, and its significant role in the Royal Australian Air Force. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mustang and its continued importance in the annals of aviation history.
