	List of Royal Air Force aircraft squadrons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It includes Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service squadrons incorporated into the RAF when it was formed in 1918, during World War I.
		However, the list excludes squadrons which were later transferred to the Army Air Corps or the Fleet Air Arm.
		Squadrons with Roman numerals instead of Arabic numerals are identified in that fashion traditionally.

	History of Air-Sea Rescue 194-1952
		It was agreed that sea rescue of RAF personnel had become of such importance that it required the full-time attention of an air commodore (a rank equivalent to that of an American brigadier general) as director and a naval officer as deputy director.
		The squadron history explained its mission as follows:(35) The purpose of this organization is to accompany Fighter and Bomber Squadrons, effecting immediate rescue of their crews, whose misfortune may lie in being set adrift on the open sea.
		No other moves were made by this until it was transferred to Japan in the autumn of 1945.(6) Besides this geographical separation, the flights were sometimes under different operational control.

	Sqn Histories 450-467_P
		Squadrons numbered in the 400 series were technically units of the RCAF, RAAF and RNZAF, but their members were placed under the operational control of the RAF and are usually considered to be part of the RAF's organisational structure, hence their inclusion here.
		The squadron now operated in the pure fighter and bomber escort roles and was constantly moving base as the ground war progressed both westwards and eastwards.
		In February 1945, the squadron was stood down and moved to Chivenor, where it was to reform, but with the end of the war in sight, it was disbanded on 10 April.

	The Fighter Collection - Spitfire XXII
		Her duties, as yet unknown, with 614 sqn lasted for over two years, until she was removed from operational service and again placed in storage with her previous allocation, No 6 MU at RAF Brize Norton, where she arrived on the 31st of October 1950.
		Her days with the RAF were numbered however, when the aircraft was declared non-effective on the 16th of June 1953, and then sold back to Vickers Armstrongs on the 4th of February 1954.
		No date will be offered for her first post restoration flight until very much nearer the time, but fly she will, being the first Spitfire Mk Twenty-something to have done so since Jack Malloch lost his life in his Mk22 in South Africa in the late 1970's.

		Squadron aircraft were used for bombing and reconnaissance missions in support of British, Canadian and ANZAC forces and by the end of hostilities the unit was regarded as the best allied reconnaissance squadron of the war.
		No 4 Squadron ended the War in Borneo and returned to Australia in November 1945, where it was renamed 3 Squadron - thus closing the chapter on a very distinguished and proud unit.
		No 5 Squadron formed in England in September 1917 and although the Squadron did not see any action during the war it provided vital training for fighter pilots prior to their postings to operational squadrons.

		In March 2005, No 1419 Flight, No 28 (Army Co-operation) Squadron, operating four RAF Merlin HC.Mk3 helicopters were declared full operational capability as part of the UK’s Joint Helicopter Force (Iraq) supporting the UK-led Multi National Division (South East) as they continue to support the stabilisation and peace process within Iraq.
		No 1419 Flight is expected to remain in Basrah for up to a year and will be commanded by one of the seven flight commanders from No 28 (AC) Squadron on a rotational basis.
		In no way a complete replacement for the Chinook, the Merlin, as a new generation helicopter, has provided an availability and range of capabilities that is unique amongst JHC helicopters.

	Australian Military Units
		The nucleus for the new squadron, however, was provided by several Royal Air Force (RAF) squadrons then based in Egypt and for much of its operational career the majority of the squadron's personnel were British.
		The squadron had been disbanded at the request of RAAF Overseas Headquarters, due to a continuing reluctance on behalf of the RAF's higher command to post Australian personnel into what was notionally an Australian squadron.
		The squadron relocated to Foulsham on 29 December 1944 and joined 100 Group, a specialist formation tasked with disrupting the German air defence system through the employment of diversionary raids and various radio countermeasures.
