		Today, No. II(AC) sq is based at RAF Marham having been transferred there from Germany in December of 1991 when the Laarbruch Tornado Wing was disbanded.

		The former is examplified by ZD984/BJ of No. 18 sq from RAF Odiham.

	HyperWar: Royal Air Force 1939–1945: Volume I: The Fight at Odds [Chapter IV]
		No Royal Air Force units had been detailed for central Norway; all known airfields had been seized by the enemy; and emergency landing grounds could hardly be constructed with any great speed in mountainous country several feet under snow.
		The destruction of No. 263 Squadron meant that there was now little hope of keeping Aandalsnes in use; for the gallant and skilful work of the Fleet Air Arm pilots of the Glorious between 24th April and 27th April could not avail to save the base from the frightful effects of German air superiority.
		Only Squadron Leader Cross and one other, gaining a Carley float, and defying Arctic cold, the promptings of despair, and the sight of twenty-five of their fellow survivors on the raft dying before their eyes, were picked up later by a passing fishing vessel.

		The first Squadron was that of 126 Squadron at Sawbridgenorth, Hertfordshire on 10.5.1944.
		She was then passed onto 32MU at RAF St. Athen South Wales for a major Inspection.
		No mention is made of the poor frightened captain of the boat on the lake but I would say that he had good reason to jump for safety seeing MK923 bearing down on him at zero altitude and throwing up all kinds of spray and propeller blades.

	S-199s
		The entire squadron spent most of one afternoon releasing an unhurt pilot who was trapped in his upside down Messerschmitt after somersaulting on landing, with the ground soaked in petrol and the petrol tanks dripping relentlessly.
		By the middle of December, 101 Squadron was down to six S-199s (D-108, 118, 120, 121, 123, and 124) and would lose one of those to a take-off accident on Dec. 15.
		There may be a grain of truth in that, but there's no question 101 Squadron succeeded to some degree despite and not because of their airplanes.

		Eight of the squadrons, however, were Blenheims, now classified as light bombers and suitable only for 'fringe' attacks; and though there were eight squadrons of the new 'heavies', four were not yet operational.
		Even these thirty-seven squadrons, however, could not play their full part; for less than two-thirds of their crews were fully trained and fit for operations.
		Indeed, no greater contrast can be imagined than that between on the one hand the enthusiastic reports of the bomber crews or the travellers' tales from German (via Sweden or Switzerland), and on the other the bleak pictures of scarcely damaged town now being brought back by the photographic Spitfires.

	Pakistan's Fighter Ace
		Alam reported the situation to the GCI at Sakesar and was asked if he wanted to engage the Indians, since his wingman had no more than 80 hours flying time in the Sabre and 19 combat missions in his logbook.
		As I reversed to engage Sabre No. 1 in 1 vs. 1 combat, to my utter dismay I found that instead of fighting with me he had half-rolled and was speedily trying to get away in a vertical dive.
		In November 1967, he was promoted to wing commander, given command of the No. 5 Squadron and charged with overseeing the introduction of the newly imported Dassault Mirage IIIEP into that unit.

		Built in large numbers in the years leading up to World War 2, Bristol's Blenheim saw use as both a fighter and bomber thanks to its high speed in relation to the biplane types it was then replacing.
		Aside from its work as the staple medium RAF bomber from 1939 through to 1942, Belnheims also served as pioneer radar-equipped nightfighters in 1940/41 and long-range patrol aircraft with Coastal Command.
		During the late 1930s, the RAF was rapidly re-equipped and expanded, with Bomber Command lying are the centre of that expansion.
