Well I said it was a quick one, but didm't expect it to be quite as quick as that
Was up there yesterday and snapped the shot. Setting famous for the Bond film 'On Her Majesties Secret Service'- I think the ice driving scenes were shot in Lauterbrunnen although I'm open to correction on that one

A very interesting recent history associated with this picture.
Well done, T-21. Leiston it is. Not much left today:
I didn't know Yeager flew there. As T-21 has guessed, the history I was referring to can be found here:

I hope when I'm in my eighties, people would still be prepared to lend me any aeroplane, never mind a P-51!
Over to you, T-21

Chuck Yeager, Bud Anderson, Kit Carson, John England and Richard Peterson (to name but a few) all flew with the 357th FG from Leiston.
An area I know well - Mrs Simtech comes from Leiston.

OK. I seem to be on a P-51 roll at the moment. It's always a bit of a surprise to me to see colour photos from WWII.
