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....
