Service History | |||||||
Operated from Malta until August 1944 at which time the squadron lost its identity, probably from either being absorbed into another unit to possibly due to being disbanded. Reformed in No. 5 group on 7 October 1944 and continued in a bombing role until the end of the war | |||||||
