Spitfires in N. Ireland 1940-41

Sheer indulgence as it is too late to look it up myself…

Were there any RAF fighter units based in N Ireland before (say) the end of 1941?

From information I have, 602 Sqn sent 10 aircraft to Limavady from Ayr on 28th May 1941 to operate with 245 Sqn’s Hurricanes for one day.

504 Squadron also converted to Spitfires while at Ballyhalbert and were operating them by November 41.

133 Sqn was also operating Spitfires by the end of 41 at Eglinton.
