Shipped from Liverpool to Casablanca on 21st October 1944 to join RAF Mediterranean Air Force, arriving on 3rd November at Casablanca.
 
Full RAF service is still being researched. Served with at least 111 (Fighter) Squadron (marked as “JU-F”) and 225 (Army Co-operation) Squadron (marked as “WU-J”) at Florence - also possibly 253 Squadron.
 
These Squadrons were involved in the Italian campaign and 253 was also involved in actions over Yugoslavia in support of the Partisan forces there.
 
Delivered on 28th January 1945 to 225 Squadron at Peretola Airfield, Florence (part of 285 Wing) from 357 Maintenance Unit at Jesi, Italy as a LF IX E.
 
On the 16th of March 1945, PV270 was transferred to 110 Maintenance Unit based at Brindisi
 
After the war it was one of 130 Spitfires then in storage at Treviso San Giuseppe that were handed over to the Italian Air Force on 16th February 1947.
