Now
on display at the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford is a 1:5 scale scratch built
North American P-51D Mustang. This unique model took almost ten years to build
and was kindly donated to the Museum in autumn last year.
This remarkable
Mustang model now forms a centre piece display in the Museum’s Visitor Centre
where visitors can view all its intricate details up close.The model is the
work of retired journalist and avid modeller David Glen and was built in
tribute to the US pilots and crews who gave their lives in support of their
European allies over two World Wars.
At over 6ft in length with a wing span of
over 7ft the model bears the markings of VF-B 413317, the aircraft flown by
Captain Donald R. Emerson, 336 Squadron, 4th Fighter Group who was killed on
Christmas Day 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge.
