RAF REGIMENT SQUADRONS With

Continuous Service 1942-1946

Please note there where many more Squadrons formed (using 4 figure numbers to denote Sqn number) and many amalgamated into other RAF Regiment Sqns, for example No 4 Sqn  Renumbered from 2777 Squadron 1947 and absorbed into 1 Sqn RAF Regiment 1948.

On 1st Feb 1942 Squadrons where numbered 2701 to 2850 and total of 270 Sqn's where formed many renumbered and many disbanded after very short service, and due to this policy Many problems have risen when trying to discover all the battle honours belonging to any Sqn currently active and inactive units.
