Try Chris Murphy at the museum – I understand they do tours of the base on occasion.

Andy,

Haven’t forgotten but have been bogged down with the P-51, work etc. Will perhaps aim for something in autumn – will be in touch.

Cheers

You wouldn’t happen to have a spare canopy or seat back by any chance.

We are restoring a Linkie and are missing these items.

Cheers

If this a problem then there is a vendor on ebay – who regularly lists items he finds at Ridgewell – see for example:-

but I would imagine concrete lumps wouldn’t be a problem and plenty to choose from at Ridgwell – also an active facebook group going regarding Ridgewell – see

Westpac

Westpac restorations might be a good place to start – have done a number of P-38 restorations and have got quite a few good photos on their site.

There are rumours that some a/c are at Greenham Common.

I am particularly interested in the P-51 ‘Mary Mine’ which is a 8th AF combat veteran and the sole remaining original survivor of the 361st Fighter Group.

Some say it is in a container at Greenham Common other says its in Florida. Owned by Baron Corp which I think is a front for Dave Arnold.
