No doubt Willy's Jeeps would have been seen at MH, this one at Ipswich Wetdock on Sunday

Thanks John

halfway down the page is a video of Bill's Squadron of Mustangs taking off and some of him walking out on to the Tarmac. His P51 was called Jackie with nose art of a Coyote. Bill was well known for flying with his pet coyote "Jeep" in the ****pit of his Thunderbolt.
There is page on the MH website about him
