Laurence:

I freely admit that you must have a much higher resulution screen than I have.

However, while I can't decipher the serial number on the rear fuselage with the same certainty that you can, the squadron code is surely MW-Y?

MW = 217 Squadron 1937 - 1940.

You have decided that it is MX-Y.

MX was used by:

1653 CU Liberators
31st Fighter Group USAAF
78th Fighter Group USAAF
Station Flight Glatton

Now, N9742 was owned by:

608 Sqn (Squadron code: UL - ?)

321 Sqn (Dutch) (No codes on Ansons, HH-? on Catalinas).

In any case, I have N9742 as ditching off Holyhead with 321 Sqn.
