P51D Mustang 'Miss Helen' takes to the Duxford sky - June 2023

            The North American P51 Mustang was designed in response to a British specification in 1940 for a long range fighter. The original P51A was a superb aircraft, but only below 15,000ft, whereas the air war at that time was predominately being conducted at higher altitudes. A Rolls Royce engineer suggested fitting a Spitfire engine to the Mustang, and this transformed its performance, enabling it to compete with the Luftwaffe fighters at higher altitudes. The P51D model in the picture is the definitive version fitted with a Packard built version of the RR Merlin 66 engine. As well as the RAF, the Mustang served with the USAAF and, fitted with additional external fuel tanks, had the range to accompany B17 bombers from England to Germany and back.
