This article really needs properly citing - these two operators in particular are suspect and need reliable sources to back them up.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I saw one IP who adds info about Phillipines in several articles and all are without sources and are not really reliable. Childish games or another "I'm proud of my country" editor? Regards, Piotr Mikołajski (talk) 14:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

According to some books e.g Ymladd yn y awyr (Welsh sorry),Modern Fighters (If isbn needed gan get if a few days given though not exactly modern being published in the 60s) Some were sold to Honduras as Trainers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.107.1.13 (talk) 00:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think it was the Yugoslav Partisans who operared Spitfires, not Kingdom of Yugoslavia.Kos93 (talk) 21:47, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Syria edit

"According to Spitfire International [1] the Syrian Government signed contract No. C 148/53 on 26th January 1953 with Vickers-Armstrongs for the supply of 20 Spitfire Mk F-22. The aircraft were overhauled and refurbished by Airwork General Trading Ltd at Gatwick, probably under sub-contract. Six, selected by agency of D Squire on 24th February 1953, were to be ready for shipment on 31st may 1954 and the balance in two batches on 30th June 1954 and 31st July 1954. They were test flown in England under Class B registrations G-15-232 to G-15-251, before being given Syrian serial numbers 501 to 520. Later the Royal Rhodesian Air Force sold seven Mk 22s (16th March 1955 SR60, SR65, SR67, SR80, SR87 and SR88) for £1,200 each plus £2,000 for spares but the order was never completed. Some went to a scrapyard at an airfield near Damascus around 1960, but 14 still existed around 1967. Four near Damascus and ten in the desert, north of the city. Eventually only one Spitfire survived, fate and location unknown. PK658 (Syrian No. 504) reported near Damascus probably in the 1980s."
