I am looking for a picture of a WWII Spitfire with the Kościuzko Squadron emblem painted on it. OR...was it just used on Hurricanes?

Thanks for any help in advance.

My wife (a nurse) has a patient in the Toronto area by the name Kent. She is apparently the daughter in law of S/Ldr Kent of the 303rd.
