Just a quick post about the Trimpell oil refinery figure of 384 spits in 19 squadrons.
I have a copy of the order of battle for fighter command on 1st August 1940.
Guess how many operational spitfire squadrons are listed, in total, all sectors and groups..? Yep, 19.
So that says to me that, as I suspected.. All of fighter commands spitfire squadrons had been converted by the end of July. All of them.
Now somebody please debunk me.
Edit: if you want me to list them, and where they were stationed I will.
