Formerly PH-VDF. Note the football match going on in the background. I hope that a few of the kids were as distracted as I would have been!

A second seat could be fitted under the standard bubble canopy of the P-51D. Only a few aircraft were so converted during WWII. One of them carried General Eisenhower on an inspection flight over the Normandy beachheads.
