This Mustang was originally built in Melbourne, Australia under license by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) as CA-18 Mk.21, construction number 1435, with the serial A68-110. Delivered in 1948, it spent most of its RAAF life in store, before being sold for scrap in 1957. Decades later, the identity reappeared for a composite restoration project via Fort Lauderdale Florida, and was shipped to Australia, arriving at Caboolture, Queensland in May 1995. In 1997 it was registered as VH-MFT and restored to airworthy, the first flight being on 24 January 2002 from its home base at Caboolture, configured with full dual controls for the passenger seat. Operating for the following two decades as a joy-flying machine, it was sold in 2020, and recently sold again to the UK and repainted as "Jersey Jerk".
