Cees,

You are right in your assumption that no Typhoons went to Canada.....many Canadien airmen obviously flew them. The only Typhoons which left the UK for other 'Theatres' as far as I can find are 1 to Russia (via the middle east) and 3 to the Middle East (although the movement cards seem to suggest 4 actually went!!!). One went to the RN if this counts!!!!
