Supermarine Spitfire. American Users, part four. Canadian users of the Spitfire. Part three.

 

Some more users of the Spitfire in the Royal Canadian Air Force  (RCAF) were:

• No.402 Squadron: This squadron, transitioned from the Hawker Hurricane to the Spitfire Mk.Vb in March 1942 and, shortly later, in August, the Spitfire Mk.IX. They took part in the Dieppe landings, providing aerial support, and, in March 1943 they were forced to return to the Mk.V. The Mk.V was flown through the Normandy campaign. In July 1944 they received again the Mk.IX, albeit for a short period of time as they were replaced by the Griffon-engined Mk.XIV which kept them until the end of the war. They operated all throughout north-western European campaign in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany, where the squadron was disbanded in July 1945.
• No.400 Squadron: This unit, formed as an army co-operation squadron, employed some Spitfire PR.XI, the reconnaissance variant of the Spitfire Mk.IX during World War 2. 
• No.421 Squadron: This formation received the Mk.IX during the spring of 1943 and, just like many other RCAF squadrons, they served through the European Theatre of Operations (ETO), serving as part of the 2nd Tactical Air Force in the Normandy campaign, the advance into Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. 
• No.416 Squadron: This unit employed the Spitfire F.XVI at some time during the war. It served through the Dieppe raid and the ETO until the end of the war.
• No.414 Squadron: This squadron was equipped with the Spitfire and the North American Mustang during World War 2. It served through the Dieppe raid and the ETO until the end of the war.
• Royal Canadian Navy (RCN): The Supermarine Seafire Mk.XV (a carrier variant of the Spitfire Mk. XII featuring foldable wings and an arrestor hook, among other changes) was RCN's first fighter aircraft. They were flown from HMCS Magnificent (CVL-21) and HMCS Warrior (R31) and were replaced in the carrier fighter role in 1948 by the Hawker Sea Fury. During this time with the RCN, the operating unit was the 803 Naval Air Squadron, which was a Fleet Air Arm's unit transferred to the RCN in January 1946.
  Some were kept as advanced trainers until the early 1950s.
