If you are over in the UK and have a day spare then make your way to a little field called Brieghton, about 10 miles SSE of York. They have a P51 and you can go for a spin for appx £700/half hour. Airfield manager Bryan flies it. They also have an airworthy Hurricane and ME109. Great place to spend some money. I must say the prices your paying in the states seems a bit higher than i would have thought when you think we are paying £1.20 plus a litre!
