Summary[edit]

Description

c/n 122-38661. Originally in USAAC service as ’44-72202’. It flew with the Swedish Air Force as ‘Fv26112’ between 1948 and 1952, then joined the Dominican Air Force as ‘FAD-1917’. Acquired from the USA in 1987, it was slowly restored and flew again in 1998, painted as ‘325’. As part of the SAAF Museum and therefore under SAAF control, no civil registration was required and ‘325’ actually became it’s identity. This is the third P-51D to carry the serial ‘325’ in SAAF service. Sadly in 2001 it suffered a wheels-up landing and although the minor structural damage was quickly repaired, the cost of returning the engine and prop to flying status was prohibitive and the aircraft was placed on static display. It is seen on display in Hangar 3 at the South African Air Force Museum. Swartkop Airfield, Pretoria, South Africa.
