davenport49 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Does anyone know whether the Supermarine Seafire was involved in the defense of Malta, such as convoy protection? I would appreciate any information available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narampa Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 This confirms it. The Mk Vb was the first Spitfire to see extensive overseas service. On 7 March 1942, 15 Mk Vs carrying 90-gallon fuel tanks under their fuselages took off from HMS Eagle off the coast of Algeria on a 600-mile flight to Malta.[158] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
