Seen arriving for GML2007, this is a highly modified racing aircraft, created in 1987 with a Griffon engine. It appears to be ex N5483V (44-73518) but opinions differ, some sources suggesting that only the tail section was incorporated after several rebuilds. At best it is probably a hybrid incorporating parts from other aircraft, as are most airworthy Mustangs.
