Single-Seaters.

Just wondering if any Spitfire MkIXs or Vampire FB Mk50s were used, or if they were all the T9/T55 twin seaters.

Hi Cal Tanker
The single seaters were all Seafire LF IIIs, denavalised, and the Vampires(6) were all 2-seaters. some, if not all, of the two-seat Spitfires had been rebuilt from single-seat Mk.IXs and had had combat careers.One of them,as ML407, claimed to have destroyed the first German air-to-air loss over the D-Day beaches.
