Does anyone knows if the Israeli Air Force operated the Spitfire Mk 22/24? Does any one have photographs of the paint scheme? Thanks in advance.

Hi Calvin

I think the Israelis flew Mk. IXs obtained from Czechoslovakia and Italy.

All the best

Yeah, they did. You can see more HERE at the Israeli Airforce homepage.

Hope this helps
