Hobby Master 1/48 Air Power Series, HA8306, Spitfire Mk.IXb "VL-F" MK320, RAF No.322 (Dutch) Sqn.,1944.
As Dutch personnel escaped the German occupation they were assigned to
the RAF No. 167 Squadron. As the personnel numbers grew it was decided
to create a Dutch Squadron so on June 12, 1943 No. 167 Squadron was
re-designated No. 322.
Originally equipped with Spitfire V’s the 322nd was re-equipped
with Spitfire XIV’s for tactical support roles but then their role
changed to destroying the dreaded V1s. Next the 322 received Spitfire IXs to perform ground attack roles. The 322 only flew the IXs from September 1944 until November 1944.
