FSX North American P-51D 'Small Boy Here'. This is a repaint for the payware Warbirdsim P-51D 'Little Friends' pack depicting North American P-51D-20-NA 44-63620 Mustang 'Small Boy Here' for the 83rd FS, 78th FG based at RAF Duxford, and flown by Lt. John A. Kirk III. This was reputed to be one of the fastest stock Mustangs operated in Europe and Kirk destroyed an Me-262 with it on March 21st 1945, one of 6 downed by the 78th FG that day. 'Small Boy Here' was the RAF radio call for fighters in the area. On VE Day 7th May 1945 a replacement pilot misjudged a landing at Duxford and it bellied in. It was the last USAAF aircraft to crash during the war in Europe. It was subsequently repaired and finally written off in another belly landing in Germany in January 1946. By Dave Quincey.
