Re: Captured P-51B T9+PK
I'm pretty sure that 43-24825 was T9+HK
In JG-77-Volume 4, the loss of Oblt. Leo Potjans on December 10,1944 has the following information: Absturz, Übung, Bötzow bei Velten , 100%, P-51B Wkr 825 T9+HK
In "Battle over the Third Reich" by Held (p59):"This was one of two captured Mustangs to crash during the first half of 1944[sic]. Not being familiar with the characteristics of its laminar flow wing the pilots got into incipient spins with insufficient height to recover.". The picture shown is that of T9+HK.
