Re: Any Info on 2 Seat Spitfires in Soviet Air Force?
Boris V. Davydov found the following information in his extracts from the TsAMO:
Order 67 IAP of may 6, 1945, No. 021
"...The Spitfire-9 aircraft No. 800 with the Merlin 66 engine No. 159305 departed to the workshops of the MVO scientific and experimental base for conversion into a two-seater... The basis - the acceptance and transfer act of 04.05.1945..."

Apparently we are talking about the Spitfire LFIX No. MJ800
СBAF (39MU 19-12-43 82MU 18-1-44 Eurybates 2-3-44 Hapmat 23-4-44 Basrah 6-5-44 USSR)
Best regards,
Kirill
