Just to add she is a D-Day veteran herself flying from RAF Aldermaston on D-Day, Berkshire and now wears her original wartime colours.
She is UK owned (hence the union jack & subsequent nickname) but kept in the USA, great that she is over here,
Not so sure about a trouble free crossing, I heard she had to turn back on the the first leg due to excessive fuel consumption, a carb change later and she set off again for a successful crossing.
