Nos.24, 25, 26 and 27 Squadron

Throughout the Second World War No.24 Squadron served as a communications and transport squadron, operating a wide range of aircraft.
No.25 Squadron served as a night fighter squadron throughout the Second World War, first with the Blenheim, then the Beaufighter and finally with the Mosquito
No.26 Squadron began the Second World War as an army co-operation squadron equipped with the Westland Lysander, but spent much of the war as a tactical reconnaissance and daylight intruder squadron.
At the start of the Second World War in the east No.27 Squadron was a Blenheim-equipped fighter squadron based in Malaya. After only two months the squadron had been forced to retreat to Sumatra, where it ceased to exist. It was reformed later in the year and operated as a Beaufighter equipped ground attack squadron for the rest of the war.
