History

The squadron was formed at RAF Bircham Newton, Norfolk, on 1 December 1943,[3][7] from 1611, 1612 and 1626 (Anti-aircraft co-operation) Flights[8][9] for anti-aircraft co-operation duties, and operated a variety of aircraft in this role. On 11 August 1945 the squadron moved to RAF Horsham St. Faith, while a detachment served from 27 July 1946 at first from RAF Boxted in Essex and later, between November 1946 and April 1947, from RAF North Weald. The squadron was disbanded on 11 February 1949, when it was renumbered to No. 34 Squadron RAF.[3][7] That unit took over the aircraft, as well as the squadron codes, 4M and 8Q.[10][11]
