First use of Me109F in North Africa?

Does anyone know the month/date in which the F version first appeared in use with JG27 and replaced the old E models. Thank you.

According to Jagdfliegerverbände 8 / I this replacement started in September 1941, beginning with II. and III./JG 27, the middle of November for I./JG 27.
