Malta Spitfire question
I just finished reading Osprey's Malta Spitfire Aces book. In it, the statement is made that some of the critical reinforcement convoys in the Spring and Summer of '42, delivered Spit Vb after earlier convoys had delivered Vc machines. Wasn't this a sort of retro-step? Did you not have to have different loading equipment and spares between the two versions? Why would this be done? At this point (Spring of 1942), surely there were plenty of Vcs available in England to ship a few dozen to Malta?
I've not read Malta The Spitfire Year and should, but is there an answer in there?
