Re: Turkish Spitfires shot down 1941
Yes, a bit early for Spits in the Med! I know the Turks did negotiate to buy some early Mark Spitfires but I think that a higher priority came along before much was done. I believe they were "reacquired" by the RAF and used in the Western Desert campaign, as we had the spares and the Turks didn't!

Re: Turkish Spitfires shot down 1941
Definitely not. Mk I L1066, originally despatched for Poland, was delivered to Turkey in September 1939. Two more Mk Is, P9566 and P9567, were sold to Turkey in May 1940.
