Re: Identify RAF P51B

Looks like AP212 under the tail.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bethell

"On 7 December 1942 Bethell was a member of a flight flying a low-level ground attack mission in the Alkmaar area of the Netherlands when his Mustang “V for Victor” (serial number AP212) was hit by light anti-aircraft fire while only 20 feet off the ground. He crash landed and tried to evade German infantrymen searching for him by hiding in a dyke but was captured.[6] Following interrogation at Dulag Luft he was sent to prison camp Stalag Luft III at Sagan.[7] During his time in captivity he was promoted flight lieutenant on 7 February 1944.[8]"
