Do you happen to know how many PR Spitfires were used?

Rof120,
Indeed you are correct, Le Luc, Bastia and Ajaccio were used for sorties covering Italian targets.
Also just to clarify Bar-le-Duc was used only in 1939 and most sorties from Nancy and Lille were flown prior to May 1940.
I can find eleven different Spitfires that were used by the Special Survey Flight or 212 Sqn for operational sorties during 1939 to June 1940. For the May-June period nine Spitfires were used.
Hope the information is of use.
Best regards
