Rob Davies based BBD at his strip in Kent, but recently sold her to a German organisation who had re-registered her D-FBBD. Rob was still a nominated pilot on the aircraft.

Last P-51 bail out I know of was in the USA a few years ago, after the aircraft lost power over mountainous terrain and above cloud. Pilot and passenger abandoned successfully and I have an idea the wreckage was even gathered up for a "rebuild". I wouldn't be surprised to see BBD reincarnated in a few year's time.
