Open Day 2011

I had a really nice day out yesterday at Bottisham Museum home of the 361st FG of the USAAF.

It was a nice little museum and very friendly. One of the displays was a ****pit of a P51 Mustang, constructed by Gary Dean from Boscombe a frined here at Martlesham. whilst being shown all the relevant bits the organiser Jason Webb introduced gary to Joe Kennedy thhe engineer of Ferocious Frankie a P51 out of Duxford belonging to the OFMC

here are a few photos
