I didn't know VH-AUB was ever in that colour scheme.
I have seen this particular aircraft many times over the years

I'd already did a Google search before I commented to satisfy my curiosity because I had only seen VH-AUB as an ex RAAF aircraft.
Most notably when I was in the Air Training Corp back in the eighties at Parafield airfield during an air show being the other side of the fence.
So with unrestricted access

Nice selection of Mustangs, Lon! The red/black N51TC reminds me of Spencer Flack's red Spitfire Mk. XIV G-FIRE.
