<p>c/n 104-25866.
Actual US military serial 43-24937.
Crashed UK 10th June 1944. Rebuild based on salvaged parts completed with first flight 7th November 2014.
Now operated by Comanche Fighters and flown across the Atlantic from the United States for UK airshows in 2017.
Seen getting airborne for a solo routine, which was sadly cut short after the first pass when the distinctive 'Malcolm' canopy hood disintegrated, hitting the tail on the way past. The aircraft landed safely and the pilot uninjured, but what a shame after all the effort to get her over here.
2017 Flying Legends Airshow, Duxford Airfield, Camabridgeshire, UK.
