Re: Spitfire BL907
Air Britains book Royal Air Force Aircraft BA100 to BZ999 says that this aircraft was with 133 Sqn and I agree that this unit had disbanded / transferred to the USAAF in Sept 1942, so could not have been with that Sqn in 1944.
However, in searching other aircraft record cards I have noted that where perhaps a clerk makes a mistake, it isn't crossed out and instead the aircraft card as if by magic shows and entry for the correct Squadron a few days later. This is the case with the Hurricane in the Science Museum, which shows it going to 152 Sqn for one day.
Sadly some of these human errors are taken as gospel
