Hello!
I have enjoyed reading, and learning from your message board for some time now!
I just saw on Jay Wistler's site that he has posted a listing for parts recovered from my great uncle, 1st Lt. Dean R. Gilmore's, P-51 B, recovered from Lake Louisa, Florida, earlier this year.
If, by chance, anyone would purchase any of these parts, and would like to know the history behind them, I would love to share the story of my Uncle, and his incredibly brief life. Or if anyone would just like more info on this plane, and the amzing story behind its recovery, and identification, please feel free to contact me. I have been given one of the rudder pedals, and a tip of the propeller. I have pictures of these, along with several pictures of the larger pieces of wreckage, including the battery, and the radiator.
Thank you for such a great site.
Best wishes,
Karen Gilmore
