AIR ENTHUSIAST - article - Spitfires Burma

A few years ago AIR ENTHUSIAST quarterly had an article describing the last air-to-air combat by a Spitfire.

It was by the air force of Burma, in the 1950s, using an ex-Israeli Spitfire IX.
The target was a PB4Y-2 flown by the Chinese Nationalists, overflying Burmese territory to resupply KMT groups in the north.

Can anyone provide a reference to this article (title, author, issue) or, better yet, a copy?

thanks,
David Isby
