Crash Landed Lockheed Hudson

Great E Bay pic of a crash landed Lockheed Hudson. Camouflage looks early war 1940-1941.

Can anyone ID?

I think that Hudson is AM549 PZ-F of 53 Squadron, lost on 8 April 1942. Hit by flak and ditched off Sylt. All the crew became POWs.

Thanks Martin for the quick ID. I could see the first letter of the code was P but could not discern the second letter.
