There are numerous sources that cover its detail - can you be a bit more precise?

http://www.adf-serials.com/ - Series Two serials, A-68- etc...

I believe 'Southern Cross Mustangs' would also be the best, most recent work covering it: http://www.redroomodels.com/books.php?book=520

Hi John,
Glad to have been of some help. Try asking on the ADF website's forum, and on Warbirdz, both Aussie forums. You may also have some luck on the Wings over NZ Aviation forum.
