	38 Squadron RAF
		No.38 Squadron RFC had some-thing of a false start, for it was originally formed at Thetford on 1 April 1916 and began training; it was then decided that the unit would remain as a training squadron, so it was redesignated No.25 (Reserve) Squadron on 22 May 1916.
		It was again a night bomber squadron, equipped with Handley Page Heyfords; these were by way of being interim equipment as far as No.38 was concerned, because it was to be one of the first RAF squadrons to re-equip with a monoplane bomber, the Fairey Hendon.
		For a whole year the squadron was thus employed, but at the end of 1941 experiments had been carried out with the possibility of using the Wellington as a torpedo bomber, equipped with a couple of 'tin fish'.

	No 25 Squadron
		Consequently, 25 Sqn, AF was formed on 01 Mar 63, with 04XAN-12 aircraft acquired from the erstwhile USSR.
		The mettle of 'Himalayan Eagles', an epithet that the squadron has earned over the years because of yeoman service it has been rendering to the numerous Army and Air Force units located in the Northern Sector, has been proved time and again both in war and in peace.
		During this period the squadron operated with AN-12 aircraft along with 44 Sqn AF which was co-located in Chandigarh.

	CHAPTER 7 No. 488 Squadron in Malaya \| NZETC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The strengthening of the RAF squadrons based in Malaya, and the formation of new ones, was helped in 1940 and 1941 by the sending of a monthly quota of pilots trained in New Zealand under the Commonwealth Air Training Plan, and New Zealand representation in many of the squadrons reached a very high proportion.
		On Singapore Island there were two squadrons of Vildebeeste torpedo-bombers with twenty-seven serviceable aircraft, one general reconnaissance squadron with three Catalina aircraft, one general reconnaissance squadron with eight Hudsons, four fighter squadrons with a total of forty-three Buffalos, one bomber squadron with seventeen Mark IV Blenheims, and an anti-aircraft co-operation unit with twelve miscellaneous aircraft.
		All squadrons except No. 488 had been passed as ‘trained to operational standards’ by the time war broke out, but experience was to show that their training had been based on an underestimate of the Japanese Air Force.

	India - Pakistan War, 1971; Western Front, Part I
		Although the Mirages of No.5 Squadron PAF were to fire no less but 16 Matras by the end of the war, all the other missiles of this type missed, resulting in a considerable disappointment with this weapon.
		As the Su-7s of No.32 Squadron arrived in Amritsar, very early in the morning, and the whole formation was rolling along the taxiway to their blast pens, two PAF F-6s appeared without any previous warning and attacked.
		The Pakistanis at Shorkot were obviously caught by surprise and the Indians encountered no AAA at all: all eight aircraft recovered safely at Amritsar around noon (local time), their pilots claiming one B-57 and three F-86s as destroyed on the ground.
