Ex RCAF 9246, USAAF 44-73979. Painted as '472258 Big Beautiful Doll', and later put on display at the Imperial War Museum, East Lambeth. Returned to Duxford in 2014 for renovation, and named 'Etta Jeanne II' marked as 44-11631 for display in the American Museum.

Not a genuine RNZAF aircraft but a composite from Indonesia (swap for a Vampire). Understand it was a Cavalier Mustang.

Built too late to see combat in WWII, this Mustang served with 45th TRS at Kimpo during the Korean War. Authorised for disposal in April 1956 at McClellan AFB, it went to Canada and returned to USA, where it changed hands several times. It was restored at Chino, CA as a TF-51D and flown with drop tanks to Duxford, where it reached on July 4, 2007 and became a part of The Fighter Collection. It is painted to represent Capt Frank Birtciel's P-51D 44-14561, Miss Velma of the 55th FG based at Wormingford.

This P-51D was built at Inglewood in December 1944 as 44-63871 and transported by sea to the UK in February 1945. It was TOC by the USAAF 8th Air Force but did not go into action, rather was ferried to Sweden in April where it entered service as J26, with Upplands Flygflottilj F16 based in Uppsala, serving there until 1952. It then went to Israel and took part in the Suez campaign. Once removed from the Israeli reserve its history is unknown but surfaced sometime later in Cannes with the civil registration N9722F. It was purchased by the museum in July 1968 and is on display in these fake markings.
