Another Mustang Question from JJ.

Hi Everyone,

Whilst everyone was most helpful with regard to my question on the 1968
Kings Cup Air Race Winner Mustang. Does anyone have any news on the Mustang being re-built at Coventry ? Is this aircraft in a secret hanger kept
away from us all only to appear in some exclusive photo sortie in the near
future or will I have to write to Jim to “fix” it. Anyone heard how its going ?
I just wondered thats all.

Digging up an old thread, so my apologies! Does anyone know if this project is still on-going, and a more accurate location? 🙂

Mustang info.

www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51/survivors/pages/44-13954.shtml – does this help at all?- not recent, but some details!

Dear Oxcart,

It sure does, many many thanks for the page with shot of it.

Thanks for Mustang info.

As far as I know Dave is no longer the owner of the aircraft.It was in a barn on a farm in the Coventry area but I don’t know the present location.
I think it will be a while before it is seen complete……

Hi Alani,

Thanks for joining in and trying to find out the status of the said Mustang

Regards, JJ.

INFO.

No its not, Maurice is rebuilding 44-13521. G-UAKE was kicking around the workshops once upon a time before Dave Kingshott owned it, it was last heard of with Phillip Warner.

Dearest Yak 11 Fan,

Thank you for putting us straight on the matter and as I said to Newforest
wherever its lurking, it appears to be safe.

Regards, JJ.

So this would be G-UAKE c/n 44-13954. Site says owned by David Kingshott, but CAA says the owner is Philip Warner. The restoration is being done by Maurice Hammond (?).

Hi Newforest,

Many thanks for the info and it looks like wherever this bird is, it seems to
be safe somewhere.

Thanks alot JJ.
