P38/TF51 ferry flight USA/UK details

The Greatest Show on Earth. The Holy Grass of Duxford

Surprised no-ones picked up on the comments bit further down the Airshowbuzz page, from Ed Shipley himself…

Quote; [All good stories need a perfect ending…. STEPHEN GREY has given us one. Besides being kind enough to allow his new TF-P-51 (Miss Velma) to fly across the Pond with all our tracking gear… Stephen is highlighting Glacier Girl at the greatest air show on earth… THE FLYING LEGENDS SHOW in Duxford England July 7-8. Can you imagine what it will be like when Glacier Girl touches down on the Holy Grass of Duxford! Unbelievable! ]

Cant wait to see a 38′ in the skys over DX again:D

Kenbo.

‘Miss Velma’ with Glacier Girl bearing drop tanks

Great to see a 55th FG, 343rd FS scheme in the UK…and especially nice that it’ll represent Frank Birtciel’s ‘Miss Velma’. Having met both Frank and Velma Birtciel 3 weeks ago, I am very pleased to see them both honoured in this way.

Thanks to all at TFC for bringing the 55th’s green and yellow checkboard back to these shores.

its certainly gonna look nice. its a different style of scheme for a mustang on these shores and will make a fine addition to the fleet.

Whats the score with the gladiator? they seem to be making nice progress with the wings.
