The Royal thai airforce museum have one firefly at there. I forgot the mark series on it. I think that after WWII. Thailand bought them (used aircraft) not more than 4-6 aircraft. In fact that they used to service in Royal Thai Navy before . Sorry I remember at above. For more in www.rtaf.mi.th

There is something so elegant and surprising about the firefly despite its large size and two man crew, her first air-to-air kill was a Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa (oscar), ironically the lightest of Japanese planes and she is without a doubt one of the forgotten greats of World War Two.
