what happens with P51D canopy as pilot bails out?

Hi all,

that question about the P51D:

as the pilot bails out, do the canopy stay attached on the plane (in the crash) or does it be dettached or "ejected" (automatically? or with pilots help?) from the plane and ...with lot of luck found some years later at some distance of the plane crash-site?

Thanks for any help,

Mathias
