Jason has asked and posted this on behalf of the Bottisham museum,
🙂 After months of trying finally managed to track down a windshield for our P-51 Mustang complete with the original gunsight bracket and fittings for the instrument panel. It is the last major item we need for our P-51 project .
A donor has come forward and has pledged most of the money to buy the windshield but other pledges are still required to cover other costs such as shipping, import duty etc.
If anyone would like to chip in and help please do.
Many thanks 🙂
If you could contact Jason http://forum.keypublishing.com/member.php?2880-Jasonp51d or better still come and say hi on the F/B page

Tony,
Do you want to pop in for a coffee – would be good to talk P-51’s – I live just behind the American Air Museum.

Hi Jason. I was up at Dux last week – took a photo of the P51 screen. Hope to get up there next week to measure it. I hope then to get one made

We haven’t as yet secured it.
We are bidding against another party and the highest bidder will win.
Tony you are welcome to measure it if we do win it – IWM’s P-51 currently has its windshield off and is also available for measuring/photographing. Need to speak to you in regards to the ribs.
FACEBOOK ! oh god why when you have a dedicated forum etc, I dont get it.
Great find though
