The F-6 version of the P-51 is a rare bird, i'm sure their's one airworthy in the states, i'm interested to see the small differences between them. Who's got some close up shots of it????

F-6's came in various versions - besides the earlier versions (F-6A, F-6B - Allison engined and the F-6C - Merlin-engined) there were F-6D's and F-6K's converted from the standard P-51D's and P-51K's - they varied in many details, not all of them had three camera ports, some field-converted ships even had odd camera positions....

"Lady Margaret" is a good example for the standard 3-port conversion - what exactly do you need ? I have quite some material on the Tac Recon Mustangs.....

Ah... looks like pics from Indy. I was hanging around the airplane most of that weekend. Funny to see John Lane's reflection in the last picture!
