History: Formed at Rochford on 1 June 1918, disbanding in September 1919. It re-formed at Digby on 8 December 1942 and although its official disbandment dates in the records is given as 15 September 1945 at B.116 Wunsdorf, in practice this was a reduction to “Number only”, its proper disbandment taking place 3 days later on 18 September when the last aircraft touched down at Lasham.
