Would love to go to an F1 anything...
The Swiss occasionally landed Mustangs very hard. The fix was to remove the wings invert the flaps and then put the wings back on upside down, giving a "Corsair" look. The engines were used Gnome Rhone type radials as these were simply a bolt on mod. Forgot why they built up the rear fuselage though...the fuselage spines came from Macchi's I think...
