Built too late to see combat in WWII, this Mustang served with 45th TRS at Kimpo during the Korean War. Authorised for disposal in April 1956 at McClellan AFB, it went to Canada and returned to USA, where it changed hands several times. It was restored at Chino, CA as a TF-51D and flown with drop tanks to Duxford, where it reached on July 4, 2007 and became a part of The Fighter Collection. It is painted to represent Capt Frank Birtciel's P-51D 44-14561, Miss Velma of the 55th FG based at Wormingford.

Wears the markings and serial number of "Miss Velma", as flown by Captain Frank Birtciel, of the 343rd Squadron/55th Fighter Group, based at Wormingsford, England in 1945. "Miss Velma" was named in honour of his future wife. Captain Birtciel completed two tours, the first in the P-38 and the second in the P-51, flying a total of 121 combat missions. With thanks to the excellent "little friends" and "warbirds resource group" websites for the information.
