About This File

FSX P-51D Mustang "Miss Helen". This is a repaint for the payware Warbirdsim "Mustang Tales" product. This repaint depicts P-51D-20-NA 44-72216 "Miss Helen", as it appears today, based/flown in the U.K. One of the rare surviving combat-vet Mustangs, the aircraft originally served with the 487th FS, 352nd FG, assigned to Capt. Ray Littge (named "Miss Helen"), and later assigned to Lt. Russell Ross (renamed "Miss Nita"). After WWII, the aircraft served with both the Swedish AF and later the Israeli AF. Robs Lamplough recovered the aircraft from Israel in 1976 and set about restoring it to fly. The aircraft first flew again in 1987, and painted in its original 352nd FG "Miss Helen" markings. The aircraft was one of five Mustangs used in the 1989 movie "Memphis Belle" (painted as "Miss L"), served as a backup for the Breitling Fighters warbird formation aerobatic group, and was featured in a History Channel "Battle Stations" documentary on the P-51. The shade of blue paint used in the restoration for the 352nd FG markings (blue nose/rudder) was matched to original paint found within a surviving structure at RAF Bodney, known to have been painted with the same paint used on the aircraft - this being RAF Deep Sky Blue. The aircraft was sold in 2015 to Robert Tyrrell and remains based at the private Manor Farm airfield in East Garston, U.K. By John Terrell.
