Maybe a Titan Mustang? Looks very similar to N551DP although that is a US based aircraft
Re: Can you identify this P-51 please

The 'Mustang' seems to be one of those two-thirds so called replica efforts as Jumbo suggests. What did it sound like?
The prop doesn't look right, proportions aft of the cockpit look a bit off.. (maybe just the angle, he says, covering himself if it turns t to be real )

Does look very similar though, red nose, canopy rail, and rudder, plus invasion stripes under fuselage. Copied photo and blew it up.

not sure of the sound was a way off but didnt sound that 'meaty' so may well be a titan

Quick search of Titan Mustangs on GINFO and it looks like it might be G-FION.

Can't find any pictures of G-FION but it looks like it's based at Sheffield Aero Club ( belonging to one of the officials of the club ). Also looks like a few Vans are based there too.

It looks almost identical to N551DP, except for the serial number and code letters, even has the red under fuselage scoop, and the prancing horse on the tail.
