Load of rubbish.

242 was 242 Squadron RAF.

As was 303 Squadron.

If you want an example of how things really were in 1940, take the following: There were TWO No.1 Squadrons in RAF Fighter Command. No1. Squadron RAF, and No. 1 Squadron RCAF. No.1 Squadron RCAF was a Canadian-constituted squadron sent over to supplement RAF Fighter Command.

So no hidden agenda, no 'hiding the true history'. If you're going to post on here, don't try to feed people in the know a load of rubbish...
