French P-40's

Hello,

French P-40's.

Were some P-40's delivered to the french in North Africa before the Torch operations began ?

reason I ask is that i recall seeing a photo of a P-40 in what to me was Vichy French markings.

Were they delivered and stored in North Africa and only brought out when the Torch operation was completed and then put into Free french service?

Alex
