19 squadron had Mk1b spits with cannons, but early trials had the cannons jamming, this actually caused a yaw effect on the aircraft (because 1 jammed cannon leaves only 1 firing on the other wing) this spoiled the pilots aim, so no real use of them occurred during BOB, I believe 1 at least got some hits on a He111, but no shoot down.....
