P51 Mustang at Wellesbourne.

Shaune Kellys P51 Mustang dropped into Wellesbourne yesterday Monday 17th July.
Nice to see after its recent repair following its mishap in Sweden a number of months ago.
Sounded superb and looked great as can be seen from photo.

Thanks for the clarification, but I didn’t say that “The Shark” specifically replaced “BE”, merely that it was one of the 3x P-51s used after they had to forego the inclusion of “BE”.

“The Shark” was scheduled to fly with The Horsemen long before the show.
Miss Helen was the stand in for “Berlin Express”.

It was one of the 3x P-51s utilised by “The Horsemen Flight Team” during the Sunday of the “Legends” event at Duxford, after they had to forego the use of “Berlin Express” due to its canopy damage.

Sorry Shaun, I meant Patrick, must have been thinking of Irish sounding names.
I spoke to him, really nice chap.

I believe the owner’s name is Shaun Patrick. Its been getting around to quite a number of events this season – I know a lot of people enjoyed seeing it at Oostwold last month. It is a great paint scheme (one of my favorites)!
