Sounds interesting....
Unfortunately there are no records either in "Spitfire International" or the definitive " Spitfire - The History" which show any significant transfers of Spitfires to Burma, nor is there a "missing" block of serials.
Many were sent (but not used during WW2) to India (11 Sqd.)
If these were there, then why would Burma in the mid 50's buy second hand MkIX's from Israel????
There were some 957 MkXIV produced and at the last count there were 19 known survivors (FlyPast Special - "Spitfire70" p61)
Ken this is an answer to your statement above .
Cheers
