Anyone own a P51 Mustang

[Eyemo]

Hia,
I'm looking for close-up detail on a P51...anyone?
Thanks,
Seimon.

David Gilmour used to own one
And there's at least one at Duxford.....

Exterior detail or cockpit ?

 

[Smithy]

Also and quite importantly, do you want cockpit pictures of a working, period aircraft from the war or a restored warbird? There's quite a difference.

Mate of Swedish member, Flieger, has one... in Sweden.

A friend of mine (Jim Beasley Jr.) has two P-51Ds ("Bald Eagle" and "Baby Duck") and a P-51K ("Frenesi"). He just sold his P-51C "Princess Elizabeth" to someone in Texas. For period-type cockpit shots, "Baby Duck" might be the best of the three, but the aeroplane is presently disassembled.

It is the same aeroplane. Jim didn't own it for very long before he got a very nice offer for it.

Flight Journal 'Collector's Edition' Summer 2008 is
exclusively P-51 with many c/u pics (including those great
John Dibbs air-to-air shots!)
