History

The squadron was formed at Red Hills Lake in Madras, India, on 21 March 1944,[2] by redesignating 'B' Flight of No. 357 Squadron RAF.[3] The unit was equipped with Consolidated Catalina Mks.Ib and Mk.IV flying boats, and operated as part of No. 225 Group RAF, Air Command, South East Asia.[1] Although intended for special duties, the squadron spent most of its time with meteorological reconnaissance and ASR (air-sea rescue) flights over the Indian Ocean.[2] It was disbanded at Red Hills Lake on 1 October 1944.[4]
