P-51 Marinell

From what I can recall last year there was a post confirming that MHs daughter was now checked out (ie can now fly) the Mustang therefore it would be nice to see Dad and daughter flying in formation – not sarcastic- a statement!!!

it was the yak 3 comment i was meaning.

but i taxiied the mustang around last year, nothing was mentioned about actually flying her…yet…

Fairy muff Chris, my mistake!;)

That was just some pics posted of her driving Janie around on the ground.

Well Leah’s checked out now isnt she…looking forward to the dogfight with the Yak 3 😉 😀 (sorry! )

Marinell has come on in leaps and bounds – absolutely amazing…

Good work MH and crew!

checked out on what?

and please reframe from sarcastic comments.

is Eyetech just a company name to enable him to work on his ‘Toys’ full time, then?

I don’t think you could over-estimate the level of specialist engineering support Eyetech offers other operators, from the smallest item to a complete Merlin re-build. The quality of their products is second to none.

No, Eyetech is an engineering business in its own right.

I guess you need an amazing amount of drive and skill to build up a collection such as this.

If you count building the jigs, building the airframe, fitting out the airframe, painting the airframe, wiring the aircraft and building the engine then yes. This of course is after having restored another P51, a Harvard, Cessna 172 and building a Laser 230 and Skybolt etc……..
Oh…. and financing it all as well…..

– just when does he sleep??- amazing amount of drive and skill in one person!- is Eyetech just a company name to enable him to work on his ‘Toys’ full time, then?

Because its a silly question… 😎

How come n o one has asked

Will it be at Legends? (well 2009 anyway)

Great looking aircraft and I can’t wait to see her flying.

You can’t beat the sound of a Mustang, the best in my opinion.

Did he do that on his OWN???- I think thats absolutely incredible!

wow!!! its looking amazing! Another p51 for the display circuit next year can’t be a bad thing! Will Mr Hammond be displaying them as a pair(obviouslly not on his own!!).

Or if he sources another pilot…any ideas yak11??

Excellent stuff.

Paul

That I guess will depend somewhat on whether display organisers book them as a pair.

Hi Everyone,

Just a brief not to say that Hardwick warbirds has been updated with pictures of Marinell and her process so far!

More updates to come.

Enjoy.

The latest P-51 looks like another superb restoration. Well done to all involved.
