P-51 'Miss Helen'

What is the status of this p51 as towards the end of last summer there was rumblings that this had flown, but in the new flypast is still classed as under restoration.

Any ideas?

Probably my favourite p51 in the uk.

If you’re interested, I’ve been told that Miss Helen is down to display at Old Sarum on Sunday the 25th.

Update – ‘Miss Helen’ has just flown past my window into Filton, to Robs’ maintenance base here, presumably for a pre-air show season spruce-up.

Probably my favourite p51 in the uk.

It performed at the Kemble Open Day on 9/9/07. It is frequently housed at Filton alongside the Spitfire (MT928) during the winter and for maintenance, so it may well be there now. Restoration is certainly complete though.
