Re: W/C Bader and the Spitfire II and V
Hi Martin. From Michael Burns' "Bader the man and his men" p.174+
The Mk. Vs were delivered early July 41, in order 145,610, 616. 616 Sqn. got 12 Vb s July 22. Bader kept his IIa until all were with the Wing. He preferred his IIa (due to cannon problems) but got a Va (W3185) late July. Afraid don't know date though.

Air History (Spitfires) says 28th July.
