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.

Sometimes you do not need to prove what was done, but what wasn't done!

We have Kurfurst numbness to thank for a lot of this. Had it not been for his myopic granite stance you fine chaps wouldn't have pulled all of this info together in one place and thrashed out the situation via logic and elimination. And you can bet your bottom dollar that if the Spitfires had it then so did every Hurricane squadron too.

What would be wonderful is if you guys could get all of this together and publish it online as evidence because as long as 'he' has air in his lungs he will pollute history.
