Hampshire squadrons 1943

Anyone know of any RAF squadrons operating somewhere in Hampshire in 1943? Hopefully as close to Worthy Down as possible. I would very much like ORB weather reports as many squadrons used to write it down. It adds to the story I am trying to write. Any pointers?

Yes, but I cant locate 739 Squadron record books - the only squadron listed on Wiki which fits the period of time.

http://www.airshowspresent.com/worth...-airfield.html - 739 (Blind approach development unit) moved in with Airspeed Oxfords during September 1943, and departed for Donibristle in October 1944 - as it is an FAA squadron have you tried the FAA archives?
