RAF Casualty Air Evacuation Units - own aircraft?
The RAF had several Casualty Air Evacuation Units in the various war zones.
I wonder if these CAEUs all had their own aircraft? Or was actual transportation of casualties done by (e.g.) a Dakota squadron? Like this, the task of a CAEU would have centered on the coordination of flights. No. 1 CAEU (formed 16 Nov 1944) on the other hand had 6 x Handley Page Sparrow types, with HQ and B Flight at B.56/Evere and C Flight at B.70/Deurne. Not clear (at least to me) if this was under the auspices of No. 271 Squadron, which also had an Ambulance Flight with Sparrow transports in the 1944-1945 time frame. Thanks for info. Regards, Leendert
