There is more information on Aero-News.Net
Keith:

In your arena of knowledge, did you ever hear of a pilot by the name of Jeff Ethel?

Mostly known to North Americans, he very frequently flew a P-51D at air shows. I had the pleasure of yakking with him at the Brampton, Ontario air show about 12 years ago.

He unfortunately thundered in shortly after.

He was qualified on type for an amazing number of aircraft, rivalling even Bob Hoover.
