Meet VH-TF8 (P-51D Mustang)

VH-TF8 is a North American P-51D powered by a Packard-built V-1650 Merlin, the licence-built Rolls-Royce engine that gives the Mustang its unmistakable note. The P-51D earned its reputation as a long-range escort and formidable fighter late in WWII – famous for its laminar-flow wing, range, and performance.
