    Hi All
    41 Squadron?

    "By the end of November 1940, the unit's pilots had claimed over 100 enemy aircraft destroyed, with many more probable and damaged"

    Cheers

    609 Squadron, I think they were first Spitfire Sq to get 100 kills, but probably much later than that.

    609sq while being the first Spitfire squadron,were also the first "squadron" to achieve this in October 1940.

    Different thread, Cobber. Keith started his own. I left it as a stand-alone thread as Keith had made the effort to get it off the ground (pardon the pun).
