I'm so glad the pilot got clear, but as a Brit ex-pat who loves warbirds I've been wanting to see the Big Beautiful Doll-schemed Mustang for years. It's the prettiest paint scheme of the era, and I liked this a/c especially as I'm in Melbourne Australia, and that particular ship was built in 1950 at Fishermans Bend, as a very limited run of the only P51s built outside of the US.
I'm sure they'll be another BBD paint schemed Mustang, but I especially loved the Melbourne element. I was in the UK last August, and missed seeing BBD flying due to family commitments, but I hoped to see her fly next year. It's such a shame....

There is at least one BBD operating in the US.

I know a Duxford pilot, he says that all of the pilots consider the blame to lay with the french pilot in the Skyraider who was 'showing off'. Word on the street was that once he got back into the mess a few of them wanted to thump him for it.

The elevator cables run just above the longeron that runs the length of the fuselage and angle up from just behind the canopy towards the top of the fuselage just in front of the tail wheel. The rudder cables run just above the longeron and angle up slightly further aft and go to a mid point on the aft bulkhead.
