Evening All,

P-51D replica formally of the IWM Duxford (Big Beautiful Doll), now located at Bottisham Airfield Museum.

This has now been beautifully restored and repainted by a small team at the Bottisham airfield museum and represents P-51D 41-3410/ C-E2 of the 361st FG based at the airfield near Cambridge. It carries the name Athelene/ Lou IV and represents the aircraft flown by the commander of the 361st FG, Col Jack Christian who was killed while flying from Bottisham on August 12, 1944, near Arras in France. These images were taken during the '1940's Weekend' held at the museum, 18/19-06-22
