Photo confusion in the P-51 section

[T J Johansen]

I was just looking through the P-51 registry and found a couple of errors in the photos of the following entries.

http://www.warbirdregistry.org/p51regis ... 72934.html
The photos does not show XB-HVL, but rather 45-11553 N51VF. The clues are the invasion stripes which HVL has never sported. The serial # digits on the rudder are white on HVL, while 51VF has all- over black digits. Also the shot of the instrument panel doesn't show a Pioneer Aero Service cockpit at all. They were configured as follows: http://crazyhorseap.be/Mustangs/Mustang ... tor002.jpg
If interested, you can have this photo of 44-72934 for the registry: http://www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51/p5 ... es/320.jpg

The photo is not showing N51HR but rather Dave Marco's 44-74458 N351DM. For some reason that Mustang is not even included in the registry. It can be found at Mustangsmustangs.com here: http://www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51/su ... l/44-74458

Yes, DeMarco's plane was the former John Marlin "Daydreamer."

Mustangs are incredibly difficult to track. I'm pretty sure they used the dataplates as poker chips in the 70s

I'll make of this and try and clarify it one the next Mustang registry update.
