Nice, looks like an air-to-air shot!

I believe this plane was their prototype. I saw the same plane at Oshkosh Airventure two or three years in a row until they ceased production. The tail number, I believe was 500 for the model number and then AX stood for Adam Experimental. Correct me if I’m wrong. Also, if I remember right, it was the first all composite construction. Oshkosh also had cut-away sections of the fuselage showing the composite construction.

Good catch @Francisco; while it's logged as P-51D,

clearly it's a B or C model of the mustang.
Apparently his first was the B model

The Original P-51B Old Crow
Here’s photos of the original P-51B Old Crow that pilot Capt. Clarence E. ‘Bud’ Anderson’s flew the summer of 1944 with the 357th Fighter Group. An image of the decal modeling profile is also shown. Jack’s plane was painted without the D-Day Invasion Stripes.
Value of this aircraft is large cube cargo, not weight capacity. I was a Loadmaster on a Douglas C-133 in 1958 that had a max wartime weight of 100,000 pounds.

Hi, I understand that this old crow is the Mustang P-51B version.

I've never seen one before in what looks like a low level mission camouflage. But on the other hand, if this is just a shot taken pre Delivery, then I'm amazed that they are still building the a/c. And not because the TU-22 is necessarily outdated, but more that Russia is broke. The Backfire is about half the MTOW of the B1B Lancer.

I realised how big were the modern planes compared to the old ones when I saw an A-10 next to a B-25 ... roughly same size.

Interesting shot. Looks to still be in pre-delivery green.

The interwebs indicate this bird last flew on 4Oct19 to KMZJ, allegedly for a "C-check", apparently an in-depth inspection/service. Most recently owned by some people from Quatar, now in transition to a new owner w/tail number N7477S.

And, yeah... Datsun B210 hatch, looks like.
Beautiful! That is my favorite livery on that aircraft.

Owner and 4 family members were killed back in an accident in 2011. To read the story, look up the tail number.
Here's a second comment to keep the ball rolling on this. Unless an Airplane is in the "Air" I don't award an the excellent vote. In this case, the overall scene is very important which includes the cars. So a 5 vote it is, 3 years late but may have missed it.

Is that a gold Datsun on the left?

Best answer is to Google "Owner of Virgin Airways" which is Richard Branson. There is also a Virgin Australia, America also. Virgin Atlantic serves both sides of the Atlantic. Definitely between London and the major US cities.

That's the emergency frequency. In the air police service, a controlled aircraft is indicated on which frequency the pilot should speak with the "air policeman".

From Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barra_Airport):
Written on 16/11/2019 by David Seider
Barra Airport (Scottish Gaelic: Port-adhair Bharraigh) (IATA: BRR, ICAO: EGPR) (also known as Barra Eoligarry Airport) is a short-runway airport (or STOLport) situated in the wide shallow bay of Traigh Mhòr at the northern tip of the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The airport is unique, being the only one in the world where scheduled flights use a tidal beach as the runway. The airport is operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited, which owns most of the regional airports in mainland Scotland and the outlying islands. Barra Airport opened in 1936. The airports only destination is Glasgow.
