Hi Consul,

Mark,
CAA records have it as G-CDTM not DCTM.

Don’t blame Mark for this, the french correspondent was certainly not well awake when he advised him… I’ll tell him to recheck next time :rolleyes: :p

Thanks for the notice.

Hello Mike,

Do you know if Mr Potter has any plans to put the P-51 into an RCAF scheme in the future? It would make a nice change.

Yes, it seems Mr Potter’s P-51D will be repainted in 442 Sqn colors according the following article: Ottawa entrepreneur doing his part to preserve RCAF heritage
