Very much so, Mike. In fact, when I lived there, somebody recovered one of the P-51 Mustangs that'd been left out in the test area, and flew it to Adelaide. What a shame the locations of Maralinga and the sun in the photo don't correspond.


EDIT: On further googling, I found this about the Maralinga Mustangs, and the one they flew. I remember it very well because it landed at Para Field, just up the road from where we lived;

Paul,
Much of that was news to me, (including your residential status) thanks very much!
