Does anyone know what just P-51 flew over Chelmsford? I think it was Mrs Helen, as it was blue at the front. If not Miss Helen then is the TFC P-51C flying?

Jumpin Jacques was flying this evening from North Weald. Did a short sortie then came back for some circuits on 20.

Wouldn’t think it’s Petie 2nd either as there are no P-51s in those markings in the UK so far as I’m aware. For a relitively full listing of warbirds in the UK check out http://www.ukwarbirds.fsnet.co.uk/directory%20mainpage.htm
For the fighters including a list of airworthy (and since last weekend not so airworthy) Mustangs in the UK, check this page

The only other one I can think of with a blue nose is Jumpin Jacques so maybe her annual has been finished early.
Only the extreme front and spinner of her nose is Blue however.
It would be unlikely (but pleasantly surprising) if it was Miss Helen or Princess Liz though.

Fair to say it wasn’t Miss Helen.
