These P-51s did fly across the pond within the last 30 years. Not sure if the list is complete though. (After all its 05:00 in the morning)
1977 N5747 Flown to Europe (and back) in the summer of 1977.
1979 N166G Flown to the UK together with a P-47 for Doug Arnold.
1980 N6340T Arrived in Geneva in the summer of 80. Flown by John Crocker I think.
1986 N167F Flown to Norway by Anders Sæther and Mette Lium.
1987 N12066 Jack Shaver delivered it to the late Charles Church.
1987 N1051S Ward Wilkins flew this one to the UK.
I seem to recall that Doug Armold’s N314BG flew across, but the other two were shipped over in 1992.
F-AZMU “Jumpin Jaques” now in the UK came from South America on either an Air France or UTA cargo plane, but since it was without the use of its own power I guess it doesn’t count!

Awesome reply. So comprehensive many thanks. Any one care to add other single engined war birds who have made the big trip in preservation times?
Be lucky
