Well almost.
Not Turkey but Greece. Transferred to the RHAF 2 July 1949 - Fate unknown. I quote from 'Spitfire International'.
Chances of survival in my view .00001%. Never say never!


: Just doing a little looking into this aircraft (it is the
: one which SL721 is painted to represent). I was wondering
: whether anyone could tell me about rumors she may have sur
: vived in Turkey. Is there any inkling of possibility?

: PS. I came across a website via google that was all in Gre
: ek but seemed to intimate that she had served in the Greek
: airforce, but this didn't jive with my information.
