Brendon Deere’s Spitfire IXc PV270 has documented service history with 225 Sqn RAF….although this consists mainly of “tactical reconnaisance” and “artillery ranging”, does this count (http://www.integration.co.nz/spitfirepv270/225squadron.htm)? It is also apparently known to have flown operationally with the air force of Burma against Kuomintang guerilla forces.
