Re: Turkish Spitfires shot down 1941

Yes, a bit early for Spits in the Med! I know the Turks did negotiate to buy some early Mark Spitfires but I think that a higher priority came along before much was done. I believe they were "reacquired" by the RAF and used in the Western Desert campaign, as we had the spares and the Turks didn't!
