This is N6356T, now N72FT I believe - not long after it came back to the USA
after being in Europe with Charles Masefield
Bill Eaton:
The February, 1975 Air Classics has a photo of this airplane on page 61
in the Reno '74 story. The photo caption states:
"A newcomer to Reno was Race #12, N6345T, a stock Mustang flown by
Gerald Martin. This aircraft was an ex-RCAF machine and was almost
stock. It had spent most of the 1960s in England where it was the mount
of wealthy English pilots. While overseas it had the distinction of
winning the King's Cup Air Race which is a handicap event that pitted
Tiger Moths and Cessna 150s against the Mustang. Even with an amazing
handicap, N6356T took the race without trouble.
