"Duxford In a Different Light: 78th Fighter Group" event

Working the "Duxford In a Different Light: 78th Fighter Group" event today I had the opportunity to grab some photos. Surprise display by Spitfire EE602 and Mustang "Contrary Mary" was an added bonus...

Popped out for a coffee...

...and caught some flying, "which was nice"...
















"Marinell" lassoed...

One aircraft missing from my 2021 Mustang Roundup was P-51D- 5NA 44-13521 "Marinell", the ex-Maurice Hammond aircraft, which since 2016 resides in Italy following its sale.

It returned to the UK on Monday the 17th of July arriving at Duxford. At present in the care of ARCo so managed a few photos through the rectangular window (Play School reference for the oldies!). Hopefully I will grab some better photos of it outside on another visit...
