Well a bit more complicated
After the Nazis captured Greece, all what was left of RHAF {Royal Hellenic Air Force(was Royal back then)}
escaped to the middle east and africa and fought along side with RAF.
The English gave a few spitfires in the early 1944 to replace the hurricanes,
after the war they returned back to Greece and fought in the civil war
From 1949 until 1954 when they were retired Greece had about 300 of them.
