4 May 1945
Kyrre
4 May 1945 was a very bad day for Mustang pilots and so close to the peace! 19 Sqdn lost two pilots F/Lt 'Jock' Davidson and P/Off 'Baz' Natta both killed in a mid-air collision over Denmark on the escort for Banff Strike Wing. And of course Arne Austeen was killed with 126Sqdn over Flensberger Fjord.
P/Off P J W Bell did not escape with bruising. He reported that his aircraft was "riddled by bullets" and he was hit in the arm by an incendiary bullet. He was still in hospital on 1 June 1945.
I am interested that you have KH860 as AZ*A I have it as AZ*G.
Best wishes from Blighty
