The simple and not very helpful answer is lots of them did. Remember a good number of squadrons would have used the Mk.IIa alongside Mk.I and Mk.IIB aircraft and would not have flown them exclusively.

Just taking a small selection from the 30 Mk.IIAs built in the Z4940 to Z4969 batch, they end up being used by the following squadrons; 33, 128, 185, 208, 238, 273, 274 and 605.
