P-51D "Damn Yankee"

Does this 51 fly much these days?

When was the last time it visited the UK?

I note that the 51 still retains its red leather interior. A remnant of the 70s. Not many of those around anymore.

It has been flying quite often/regularly over the last several years. Back in May it was quite a hit at the Oostwold airshow, and also flew in a couple other shows in the Netherlands this year (as recently as August).

Last time the aircraft came to the UK may have been 2002, at Flying Legends (same year that Tom Friedkin also had his A-36 Mustang (“Apache”) at Flying Legends).
