Re: Code name 'Rona'
Rona a small island west of the Orkney's.
218 Sqn Bases (ref :RAF Bomber Squadrons of the RAF, Macdonald ).
Sept 1939 - May 1940
Auberive-Sur-Suippes, France.
With Detachments at
Perpignan/La Salanque in February 1940 and April 1940.
Moscow Ferms, France May 1940
St. Lucien Ferms, France May 1940
Nantes, France May - June 1940.
So the squadron moved from mid France to the very south then to the mid west of France, in the time frame you research.
Hope this helps
