Hello Everyone,

They keep popping up. A fifth New Zealand "Donald Duck" Corsair has come to light. It's NZ5251which is the same NZ52xx batch of aircraft as the other four. Perhaps an enthusiastic Ground Crew member was "on a mission"? The photo is from the J.E.L. Baldwin personal collection which has been scanned into the RNZAF Museum collection.

The five “Donald Duck” nose art Corsairs are;

- NZ5248, No.21 Squadron, May 1945

- NZ5251, No.30 SU, 1945

- NZ5255, No.4 SU, July 1944

- NZ5262, No.30 SU, 1945

- NZ5277, No.21 Squadron, July 1945
