So 30 (I assume you mean Hurricane/Spitfire) represents from ~90 to ~50% of all operational Hurricane/Spitfire squadrons.

I did mean Hurri/Spit and I was using the 4 + 6 = 10 Squadrons by June.
Or a third of the Hurri/Spit squadrons at the time.
I'm starting with a low number. It's a definite which is more than I've seen for the other side of the argument.
I've found combat reports that back this up, and as Pilots had to record use of 12lb I think there must be more.
