There has been only one Spitfire Mk.II in Dutch service.
Harry van der Meer states this was Spitfire P7891, the personal aircraft of HRH Prince Bernhard.

Andrew Pentland, who set up the Spitfire production List let me know that, according to the records of this aircraft, HRH Prince Bernhard used a different name when flying this aircraft.

 

Na een onfortuinlijke landing wordt de Spitfire Mk.II van Prins Bernhard naar een parkeerplaats geduwd. Dit gebeurde tijdens het bezoek van Prins Bernhard aan het 322 Sqn.
After an unfortunate landing the Spitfire Mk.II of HRH Prince Bernhard is pushed towards  a parking space.
This happened during the visit of HRH Prince Bernhard to squadron 322.
