Description

The story of this Mustang

The Dart-Stang was the brainchild of a Sydney businessman, Hockney Treloar. He had acquired an ex-RAAF CA-18 Mustang Mk.22 and had a Rolls-Royce Dart 510 turboprop from a Vickers Viscount to repower it.

The Dart-stang was ready for engine runs with flight-testing planned for mid-1975. However, it was around this time that work on the project ceased. The Dart-stang passed through yet more hands and reverted to Merlin power. Frank Boreman, the famous astronaut, was the final buyer. Square One Aviation, based in Chino, California, completed the aircraft’s restoration. The CA-18 had now become a TF-51D, and at last flew on December 16th, 1996.
