Former civilian-operated target tug with the registration VH-BOZ. Sold in the UK in 1979 (planned to become G-MUST) but an attempt to ship it out with a rare Messerschmitt Bf109 stopped by Customs. Both impounded. The Bf109 now with the Australian War Memorial. After almost 20 years the Mustang was sold and became VH-URZ in 2014. Marked VH-BOZ in this 2019 photo but it was not until 2022 that it officially took up that identity. VH-BOZ had been in use on a derelict Cessna 402 that was finally cancelled from the register in 2021.

I don't know the story behind the artwork on this aircraft but it appears to have been involved in an event as it carries the names and logos of numerous sponsors. (The airline pilots' dispute began later in the month of this photo).

VH-BOZ heads off on another target-towing mission.

Built in 1969 in the United States and entered the Australian register on the 17th of September 1986 . This 402 is now located in Charters Toweres Queensland.

A former target-towing Mustang operated by Fawcett Aviation (Illawarra Flying School) in the 1960s. It had been A68-199 with the RAAF. In 1979 it was sold in the UK as G-MUST but returned to Australia in 2014 as VH-URZ.
