Paddy Finucane, while being a brilliant ace, he shot down 32 German aircraft, before he himself was shot down and killed by ground fire over France in July 1942, was not the highest scoring Spitfire ace. I am sure you will find it was Johnnie Johnson - who finished the war with a score of 38.
If you are thinking that Paddy could have flown Spitfire's after the war, then of course, that was impossible.
