Re: 4 SAAF - full conversion to Kittyhawks?
Andreas
Last operational Sortie for 4 SAAF on Tomahawks noted as 27th Jul 42, after this date only Kittyhawk Sorties logged (first full day of only Kittyhawk sorties 1st Aug 42 - no ops 28-31st Jul)).
They may have had a Tomahawk or two around for training or hacks (just a possible), certainly Tomahawks still in use with 233WG TF which may appear in logbooks even though pilot officially posted to 4SAAF. They received their first Kittyhawks late Jun 42 (actual first date unknown - but post 22nd Jun)
Hope this is of assistance.
