No 800 re-enactors are not taking place in the battle, actually about 50-60. But we are expecting up to 800 re-enactors/living history types etc to attend.

Was the article in the local newspapers you saw

So is the Mustang on Sunday only?

The Mustang is displaying both days, but will only be doing the straffing runs on the Sunday as this is the day of the Allied counter attack

It has been confirmed today by Tony Smith that the P-51 will be doing two runs over the battle re-enactment on Sunday, the 1st will be a straffing run, the 2nd will be a bombing run. Should look and sound good.

You could donate it to the RAF Millom Museum as it was once part of a AG school, they would gladly recieve such a donation, collection could also be arranged.
