Help with ID Israeli P-51D
In Musée de l'Air at Le Bourget is standing an P-51D with c/n 122-31597. Now I'm looking for the Israeli serial of this beautiful fighter. Hopefully someone can help!

Unfortunatly his Israelian ID remains unknown but before it went to Israel it flew with the Swedish Airforce as 26039.

I'm aware of the Swedish serial , but i'm looking for the Israelian one, because that's the last military serial.

Re: Help with ID Israeli P-51D
According some Israeli websites this one should be nr 33.
Don’t know if this is true.
