Re: P51c HSoZ, 260 Sqn, RAF serial?
All seem to be marked as P51c for some reason ?
FB's, FX's and HB's were Mk.III's (P-51c's) KH's were Mk.III's and IV's ( P-51D's), Mk.IV's from KH641.
As you have said P/O.R, Williams flew several aircraft during March/April 1945. As to which one was a/c "Z" at this time I have no idea, but he seems to have flown KH609(Mk.III) quite often. That said there was in March, FB282 (42-103176) and HB900 (42-103869), both Mk.III's.
However there is a problem with KH609, HMAW vol 5 page 346 has KH609 being ditched on the 21/01/1945, Pilot kIA,
Also see Baughers UAAAF serials -
44-11034 to RAF as Mustang III KH609. Ditched off Ravenna Jan 21, 1945 following
engine failure.
So have no idea how it still was airworthy in March/April 1945 ?
Have a great 2022
