And the last two for today.
This is the second Mitchell I. (B-25B) FK162 in her original camo and markings:

And one more time the camouflaged FK161:

One may see the differences in the appearance of the 2 a/cs: the second photo has been taken later than the first one - the fin flash (barely visible behind the wing) is from the later type.
Cheers!

I agree. Undoubtedly the fin flash is of the later type with the white strip reduced to the narrow one.

Why am I getting a suspicious vibe from this photo?

It just looks too good/clean but I believe now that it was just a bout of schizophrenia.

These are two different a/cs: the top is B-25B (Mitchel I) and the second is B-25C (Mitchell II) - note the open and covered tail skid.

Yup, the top one is FK165 and the lower one with the P marking is FL191, both taken at Boscombe Down. Although not prototypes as such, the P marking was added to foreign types if there was no Air Ministry Pilot's Notes for the specific make or mark of aircraft being trialled.

I'm sure it's a typo from what you've posted here, but FK162 was the second RAF Mitchell I.

Oh, yes, it is!
Mea culpa!
I changed it in the original post so nobody gets it wrong in the future.
Thank you!

I believe this is the same a/c as above, but in better times - a modified B-25G from the 38-th BG., 822-nd BS. "Black Panthers" :

Very nice shots of those "Crusaders" (42-th BG., 13-th AAF). The last a/c (no camo) is B-25J-27, s/n 44-30285. Note that the original s/n is still visible after the second one with bigger numbers (characteristic for the "Crusaders") has been applied.

And a "Crusader"- tail in bigger detail (different a/c):

The first photo is from the "The Crusaders a history of the 42nd Bombardment Group (M)" - downloadable for free, just follow the link.
The second photo is from here.
