	BRIEF HISTORY OF No
		With the new aircraft the No. 304 was transferred to Syerston, near Newark on December 1st.
		Before 304 Squadron came I was very worried because I thought you would all dislike the place intensely and would probably dislike the work, and was delighted to see that you apparently liked both.
		On December 13th, as a newly semi-reformed squadron, the 304 was transferred to RAF Predannack.

	304 Squadron
		The history of 304 Squadron is a fascinating one, as are most histories of Central European aviators flying in the RAF.
		304 Squadron was a Polish squadron that began their RAF operations in 1940 and continued on through to the end of the war, first with Bomber Command and later with Coastal Command.
		The aircraft operated by 304 Squadron for the most part was the Vickers Wellington, both during their Bomber Command days and their later Coastal Command days.

	Cyprus, 1974
		Facing no major resistance, the naval landing operation was completed within only three hours: the sole point of CNG resistance were two jeeps mounting recoilless rifles calibre 106mm, spotted and destroyed barely one hour after the landing began.
		Initially, this was not very important: on the morning of 20 July no THK aircraft flew over the Aegean Sea, and therefore the (E)PA was not alerted, while there was obviously no threat of a Turkish invasion of Greek Macedonia, or any of the islands in the Aegean Sea.
		The RAF contingent at Nicosia Airport was evacuated to Dheklia, flying out the families of troops living in the east of the Island.

	304 Squadron Book Review by Mick Evans (Mushroom Model Magazine Special)
		The Squadron was formed in 1940 using personnel from the 2nd and 6th Air Regiments of the Polish Air Force who had escaped to England when Poland was overrun by the Germans.
		The Squadron was involved in operations with Bomber Command from 1940 to 1942 flying various marks of Wellington bombers flying bombing raids over occupied Europe where they lost at least one third of their aircraft and crews during this period.
		This is an excellent historical account of No 304 Squadron that should appeal to aircraft enthusiast and modellers.

		Early versions of the B-24 were heavily armed by pre-war standards, the B-24A having two.30 caliber machine guns in the tail and six.50 caliber weapons (one in the nose, one in a ventral position, two in an upper turret, and one on each side at the waist positions).
		Early in the war, both the RAF and the USAAF found this armament inadequate, and additional machine guns were added in subsequent versions.
		Some of No. 311 Squadron's Liberators were equipped with four 5-inch rockets on airfoil-shaped mounts forward of the bomb bays, and such rockets were used in sinking one U-boat.
