Dave Evans:
May be G-BIXL, owned by Robs Lamplough in the UK. Similar colour scheme i
think as when i saw it during 1987 at Bournemouth airport, UK.
It is definitely 44-72216/G-BIXL, owned by
Robs Lamplough. See picture of the aircraft in this colour scheme on the
relevant page on your website.
Chris Abrey:
This P51 is Robs Lamplough's ex Israeli 44-72216 G-BIXL seen shortly
after her restoration was completed in 1987. Since then she has worn
an Olive Drab scheme for Memphis Belle, prior to taking up her genuine
wartime markings as Miss Helen.
T.J. Johansen:
From the looks of it this is most likely Robs Lamplough´s G-BIXL seen
shortly after first flight before being painted. I saw it like this at
North Weald in Robs hangar with the star & bar as it has in this photo!
Case Closed!
