And which Mustang was the one which went to South Africa?

Quote:
The remains of the airframe was saved from from the scrapmans smelting pot only due to the aircraft being somewhat immobile as a result of thr earlier parts retrevial. Consequently JG 668 was allowed to languish on the perimeter of a farm in the Australian outback near to Oakley. In the 1980s it was finally recovered and a partial restoration was begun with the intention of exhibiting in a museum near Hoopers Cross in Toowoomba. Due to a lack of funds the restoration was put on hold, and in 2003, to raise funds, a combined sale was negotiated for a P51 Mustang and the partially restored aircraft Spitfire JG 668.

The Mustang went to South Africa ,while JG 668 was packed into a container and shipped to the UK, arriving at its current location in Oxfordshire in March of 2004

I have £50 (approx $100) and some loose pennies, but I'm just off to a beer festival - if there's anything left after that... I expect there will be "Spitfire" available there (a well-known brew from Kent).

I'll have to admit my ignorance Mudge (and even if I hadn't been to that beer festival...). Got home with at least £20 left ($40 or thereabouts). Any help...?
