North American P-51K N66111 (ex 44-12140) seen at Santa Monica, California in 1960 when civil two-seat Mustangs were in widespread use in USA for routine fast travel. The "Warbird" movement was still some years away. This aircraft was wrecked in a crash in Oregon in 1968, but due to the recuperative powers of warbird rebuilding workshops, a Mustang quoting its identity is still flying today. Photo: Eddie Coates
