Re: Spitfire of 242 Squadron - North Africa 1942-43
From a letter written by the Squadron Leader of 242 Squadron in 1996, it seems 242’s Spitfires were shipped to Gibraltar, where they were reassembled. From other sources, it looks like the Squadron personnel arrived by ship and then the pilots flew the aircraft from Gibraltar to Maison Blanche in preparation for Torch with ground crew coming on by boat.
