VH-MFT 'Snifter' has an interesting history being one of some 200 CA-18 Mk21 Mustang aircraft that the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) built in Victoria under licence from North American Aviation in the USA. The American designation for the Mustang was P-51D.

VH-MFT was manufactured in Australia in 1947 and delivered to Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in 1948 it served as A68-110. It was subsequently decommissioned and then sold for scrap in 1957.

However in the mid-1990's the ambitious restoration project saw the airframe shipped back to Australia where the aircraft was registered VH-MFT at Caboolture and a full restoration was undertaken by locally-based Sandora Aviation. The aircraft was then restored and painted as P-51D-NT Mustang IV A68-769. VH-MFT 'Snifter' took the air once again in 2002.
