P51 C Mustang MK III. FB247 GA Q, North American P-51C-1-NT Mustang. Older style canopy not a Malcolm hood. This maybe the plane of Flt. Lt. Raymond Vincent Hearn, 102547 , RAFVR, No.112 Squadron. Hearn flew two tours with No.112 Sqn on Kittyhawks and Mustangs. He was the leader of B Flight and used the individual letter "Q" on his aircraft. He downed a Ju 88 in this machine on 9 September 1944, even though only one of his four guns was working. He was killed on what would have been his last sortie on 18 February 1945, in KH820 GA Q a later Mustang Mk IV with the Malcom hood, his plane exploding after being hit by flak. The letter "Q" was not used again as a mark of respect
