Am researching on the Malayan Auxiliary Air Force (MAAF).
From publications on Spitfires, I drew the conclusion that 3 Mk.24s were issued to the Singapore Wing of the MAAF at RAF Tengah. They were PK681, PK683 and VN494.
I managed to contact a gentleman who flew with MAAF, but unfortunately his flying log only showed Tiger Moths, Harvards and Chipmunks. He told me that the Spitfires were used for only a short while and were only flew by RAF instructors.
Can anyone confirm the serials of the MAAF Spitfires and have photos of this birds during its active life?
