This design is based on P-51 Mustang “AM-G” (serial A68-750) as flown by Sqn Ldr Ron Susans whilst with 77Sqn based in Iwakuni, Japan in 1947. Prior to this, Susans flew P-40 Kittyhawks over North Africa, Malta, Sicily, and Italy. He was officially credited with shooting down two enemy aircraft and damaging others, for which he was mentioned in despatches and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. He went on to also serve in the South-West Pacific as a flight commander in No. 79 Squadron, flying Spitfires out of Los Negros Island, and Borneo. After the conclusion of WWII, Susans joined the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan where he was commanding the Mustang-equipped RAAF No. 77 Squadron. During the Korean war he would fly the Gloster Meteor completing 110 missions and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. He retired from the RAAF in 1975 having logged over 5,000 flying hours across 80 different military aircraft.
