HISTORY (© 2010 David Eyre):

"TB592 / NI-V"

    
Aug 1985:  

Acquired from New Zealand. Painted to represent TB592 of 451 Squadron, RAAF.

451 Sqn only used the code letters 'NI' from December 1945 to their disbandment on 21 January 1946, but the real TB592 only served with 451 Sqn from 7 March 1945 to 14 June 1945, so these markings are technically inaccurate.
