118 RAP VVS-SF

Were 118 RAP VVS-SF the only Soviet unit to use PR Spitfires operationally?

Best regards

Re: 118 RAP VVS-SF

According to this link there were a couple of other Russian units that operated the Spitfires. 2 GAP – 2nd Guards Air Regiment and then 28 OAE – 28th Independent Reconnaissance Squadron. (Search for Russia on the link):
