Current colour scheme is based on an RAF 112 Sqn scheme nicknamed “The Shark Squadron” and represents a Mustang IVA KH774 GA-S (44-11602) flown on ground attack missions over the Balkans and along the Adriatic coast by 112 Sqns Lt Blanchford .

'The Shark' is not a stranger to UK shores having appeared at many airshows as 'Old Crow' and also appearing in the blockbuster movie Memphis Belle.
