Hi all, new to the forum :-),
I was wondering if anyone could answer a question i have regarding Johnnie Johnson, does anyone know when his last solo in a Spitfire was? And what Spitfire it was?
Thanks very much

Thanks all, most helpful. I thought he might have flown one after that, obviously not.

According to Wikipedia (I know, not the most reliable of sources!):
His post-war mount was MV257/JEJ; it was the last Spitfire to carry his initials.
Doesn’t say anything about when this might have been, however.
