Hairy Mustang Landing (Cosford 1991)

Interesting sequence of the Spencer Flack P51 almost getting off the leash, strong crosswind, perhaps.

I think it was Rod Dean who was flying it at the time.I seem to recall reading an article he did about flying the Mustang and he said ‘no-one is allowed to mention Cosford…..!’

Speaking of ‘hairy’ landings………is ‘Miss Helen’ still at Duxford recovering from her little ‘stumble’?
