Is it a Mustang or an A36 Joe?
I didn't think any mark of Mustangs got the machine guns under the engine.
I do know that the A36's did though.

From what I can find, the RAF only had one A-36 serial EW998 at
Buscombe Down for testing. It was called the Mustang MkI (dive
bomber) by the RAF. Allother RAF Mustangs were P-51 variants.


Agreed about the A-36. Perhaps we have the same book!

The Mustang I did have two .5s below the engine, plus .5s and .3s (or
possibly .303s, sources differ) in the wings.
