P-51D Mustang "The Shark" G-SHWN 2024-06-06

This is a repaint for the payware Warbirdsim P-51D "Mustang Tales" product. This repaint depicts the restored P-51D 44-73877, registered in the UK as G-SHWN, owned by Shaun Patrick and which is flown under loan to the Boultbee Flight Academy and Norwegian Spitfire Foundation. Based at Chichester/Goodwood Airport, the aircraft is painted in the authentic markings of an RAF 112 Squadron Mustang Mk.IVa (P-51K), KH774, which in 1945 was based at Cervia, Italy. The original aircraft was piloted by a Lt. Blanchford, flying ground-attack missions over the Balkans and along the Adriatic coast. This aircraft has previously been owned/operated for many years by the Scandinavian Historic Flight (prior paint schemes included "Detroit Miss" and "Old Crow", among others). This aircraft can be seen in the 1990 movie "Memphis Belle", painted as "Cisco", and the 2012 movie "Red Tails". New bump maps and modified cockpit textures included.
