Yes, I’ve seen the 4th.FG’s two-seater before. I’m sure there were several throughout the ETO.

Thanks for the good words on this thread, BlueNoser, really all I was concerned about was figuring out the identity of the P-51 in the first picture I posted and I wound up with info and photos for the CD-Rom I am compiling, while Martin got photos for his collection and the book he’s writing – you can’t ask for more than that! 🙂

TexanTomcat, yes, by all means please do post them ASAP! What museum are you associated with?

Sharp eyes, my friend, it is indeed a different aircraft, the nose reads “Lola Ruth“, which was the assigned aircraft of Lt. Robert Dufresne. It had the name “Buttercup” on the otherside.

Robert Scott, the pilot of “Bertie’s Bet II/Miss Martha” never liked the a/c as well as his P-51C (#43-25054 Hell’s Belle while being flown by Lt. Willard Lewis/ Beaverhead Filly while flown by Lt. Keith Price/ Bertie’s Bet – Shoot You’re Faded with Scott). The P-51C lasted through over 700 combat hours and was finally crashed near Munich post-war. Now I finally know his second assigned aircraft also soldiered on for quite some time with the Swiss AF.
