c/n 122-40519.
Actual US Military serial ‘44-73979’.
Also ex RCAF ‘9246’.
After a period on display at the IWM Lambeth, the P-51 has returned to Duxford to form part of the refurbished American Air Museum.
Previously marked as the famous ‘Big Beautiful Doll’, it has now been restored to represent an alternative 78th Fighter Group aircraft ‘Etta Jeanne II’. The 78th was based at Duxford in 1944-45.
While the AAM building is under maintenance, the aircraft are on display elsewhere at Duxford, with the P-51 seen here in the Annex of Hangar 1 (a.k.a ‘Airspace’).
Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridgeshire, UK.
