Nope I'm not a mug (although my wife may disagree sometimes....)

A kind fellow at work who shares a passion for aviation like myself bought me a mug today.
Not just any mug, but a mug with NZ2424 NZTAF Canterbury P-51 Mustang on it.
Also, $5 of the sale of it goes towards the NZ Warbirds Association.
Another interesting point is the history of NZ2424...

I raise your Mustang with the same plus Harvard NZ1078, P40N Kittyhawk "Currawong" and Spitfire Va marked as D-B of Douglas Bader. (Although I see the Mustang has the red spinner of NZ2415 did NZ2424 hve it too or is that artistic liscence?)
At least I am never short of something to drink out of!! ;D
(Wonder what I get this Xmas!!)

The Auster should be recognised for what it is: a gentleman's aerial touring carriage and a nice aeroplane.
