Not always the case found when researching Spitfire IX BR601 and was transferred from one unit to another. Cannot remember which too squadrons but it was a similar situation. The Spitfires were left at the airfield as the previous squadron was rotated north/south and re-equipped. Looking at BR601 (and others) the individual letter was retained and new squadron letters applied.

I hasten to add, this occurred only once during its four squadron moves so was not common.
