One of the Mustangs subjected to two nuclear tests in 1953. A68-7 had been assembled in Australia from parts shipped from the US ahead of local production. It was sold back to the US in 1968 as spare parts for Cavalier Aircraft. This photo is copyright © Geoff Goodall, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
