Gone today! Looks like they are flying her there!

Frankie airborne 0844.

Yes.

Have Hangar 11 still got Tall in the Saddle ?

Velma is still owned by Anglia Aircraft Restorations, it just went off to Steve Hinton for repairs.

Are we sure Velma is coming back? Haven’t heard anything either way…

‘The Shark’, ‘Miss Helen’, ‘Tall in the Saddle’ and ‘Miss Velma’ under a new guise once the repairs are complete. ‘Berlin Express’ is still lodging at Duxford with an uncertainty as to how long for. As mentioned previously, we do always seem to gain one or two more warbirds when we lose one (SL721 being a prime example), no matter how gutting it is losing such a historic P-51 to the UK airshow circuit.

I don’t think we have many P51’s here now.

Good to see the spread of warbirds into other countries and I am sure here in the UK we will not be short of a P51 for very long when we loose something we seem to get two of something turn up!

I do wonder when MH434 will come up for sale I am sure it will one day need to change hands be great if Lee Proudfoot could take it on. ( tin hat on )

Good for them but what a shame for the UK. MH434 is starting to look lonely in her hangar.
