Four years ago, I received this batch of Mustang photos from Leon Cleaver (Woodsy Airfield) to scan and post here on WIX. Well, life gets in the way (and frankly, so does sloth!), but I've finally gotten them ready to go. With apologies to Leon, here we go - captions are what was written on the backs of the photos.
