P51 Mustang Landed at Blackbush?

Hi,

just had a silver, yellow tailed P51 Mustang scream over my house and enter the pattern for Blackbush 13:21 today. Anyone know why it’s there? Seemed in a hurry.

Not complaining of course but an unusual sight especially in winter.

Regards,

Ted.

Thanks for the info.
Yes, nothing can have you running from the sink or kicking the cat down the stairs faster than a Merlin overhead!

More so when its fitted to a Hurricane:p

Hi Ted (hampden98)

So this should be the Mustang you saw

The Titan is in the 55th FG 343rd FS markings of Maj. Edward B. Giller ‘The Millie G’ although with yellow stripe instead of red

Cool! That makes A C47, P51 and the Blades over the house this year. Not bad, not bad at all 🙂

Perhaps we can encourage the Cafe to have reduced rates for Warbirds :diablo:

So it was a P51 Mustang then? Sorry but not totally sure who flys what these days 🙂
Would make sense as the Merlin is a very distinctive sound I don’t often mistake.
Only caught a glimpse as it entered the pattern so could be mistaken about the tail but it did have some yellow.

Peter Teichmans P-51 ‘Jumping Jacques’ has a blue tail with a yellow motif if that helps?

I may be wrong but I was told it was Peter Teichman.
A colleague of mine flew into Blackbushe at the same time and had a chat with him in the cafe.

Wow, what’s the engine. Certainly sounded like a Mustang to me.

It was! (according to G-INFO)
