Designed to provide fighter escort for Allied bombers, many Mustangs were warhorses turned thoroughbred for the post-war Thompson Trophy races. The plane was named Second Fiddle because the owner crashed his first, race altered, Mustang that he had wanted to enter in the 1946 Thompson Race. Although Second Fiddle was not as radically modified as the other plane, a special “witches’ brew” fuel helped it to finish fifth. The plane is still all-original, except for the components removed by the pilot to make the plane lighter for the race.

On June 1, 1965, Robert Manry sailed from Falmouth, Massachusetts to Falmouth, England, in Tinkerbelle, a small, hand-built boat that many thought would never be able to make the journey.
