History

No. 92 Squadron was formed at Kingaroy, Queensland, on 25 May 1945.[2] Its first aircraft, an Avro Anson trainer, was delivered on 19 June followed by a Bristol Beaufort light bomber the next day. The squadron's intended aircraft, Bristol Beaufighter ground attack aircraft, began to arrive on 4 July.[3]

The squadron undertook little flying during the first months of its existence, but began flying training sorties using the Beaufighters from July 1945.[2][3] The end of the war on 15 August was marked by a two-day stand down and several celebratory events.[3]

The squadron began demobilising shortly after the end of the war.[3] Some flying continued, however, and one of No. 92 Squadron's Beaufighters struck high tension wires and crashed at Narrandera in southern New South Wales on 3 September. This accident resulted in the death of the pilot and six airmen from a RAAF repair and maintenance unit located in the town who were being taken on a joy flight. The Beaufighter had flown from Kingaroy to Narrandera several days earlier to transport another RAAF airman to his mother's funeral.[3][4] The squadron completed disbanding on 17 September 1945.[2][5]
