    They sure have done a good job restoring all that corrosion damage to the fuselage

    Just who are “they” ?

    Nice shot of the makers plate as well, any idea of the date?

    Air or sea ? Personally, I think a shipping container would be easier on the nerves.

    You cannot put a P-38 in a container,even dismantled it is too big.

    Deck cargo only.

    If it comes it will be by air.

    How far it gets is another matter….

    As far as i know there are only 3 current horseman.

    As for which Mustang they send from the USA,they have a choice of at least 5 different ones.

    I understand that within the UK there was concern in some quarters that the Pegasus horse artwork had been fed oats of an unknown traceability and there was some notable visible mutation showing a change from the original design specification and that this had caused anxiety and nausia amongst viewing enthusiasts and that flight line walkers had been observed to depart from controlled directional path on observing it at Legends ’08 :dev2:

    Rest assured, the artwork in question is on on borrowed time and is going to be repainted in the new year.

    You have answered your own question. In the UK no ‘identity’ = no flying.

    Or…….

    identity,serial,constructors number,flown before in the UK.= no flying
    :rolleyes:

    One of the best P-51D’s around, also to boot a combat vet of the 78th and operated from it’s former home, what more could we ask. We sure are lucky in the UK with combat vet 51’s.

    As our american friends say “She sure is a fine ship”

    Good to see so many Mustangs on the British register.
