In early July 1941, RAF 272 Squadron transferred eight Bristol Beaufighters from Edku, Egypt to Malta. During July, Squadron Leader A.W. Fletcher, a Canadian, flew Beaufighter Mk.IC #T3317 on a strafing attack on Sicilian airfields destroying four SM.79s and two CR.42s. Two days later Fletcher destroyed three more SM.79s just before the squadron was sent back to Egypt in early August 1941. Because of his rank Fletcher was able to wear the “?” symbol on his aircraft.
