| Some of the RAF squadron commanders learned valuable lessons from these experiences, including the realisation that the Luftwaffe's tactical formation of the 'finger four' was superior to the RAF's traditional vic of three aircraft and that it was advantageous to harmonise the fire of the guns to converge at 250 yards rather than 400. |
| No 91 Squadron was also equipped with Mk XIIs and, operating from Westhampnett with 41 Squadron, formed a bomber support wing, escorting Typhoons and the bombers of 2 Group. |
| RAF fighter squadrons in the Far East were in the process of being re-equipped with P-47 Thunderbolts, however the end of the war brought a cessation to the American Lend/Lease programme, thus earning a reprieve for the remaining Spitfires. |
