Turkish Spitfire recoveries

Hi all,

Just turning Paul McMillan’s question in a new topic. Some years ago it was reported in the British aviation press that two Spitfire IX’s had been recovered from Turkey. IIRC one of both had been used as a wall. That’s all I have from memory, but are these rumours based on fact?

Over to you.

Cheers

Pity, even after a mass scrapping there must be bits and pieces left. Look at the South African Spits.
