226 SQUADRON HELP
226 Squadron served in France with the Advanced Air Striking (AASF) during 1939-40. It returned to England on 16 June 1940 and was sent to Sydenham near Belfast to fly regular dawn and dusk patrols along the entire coast of Northern Ireland.
The squadron returned to England in May 1941 and joined 2 Group Bomber Command. Can any Forum member confirm that 226 Squadron operated as a Coastal Command Squadron under control of 61 Group during its time in Ireland? If so, were Coastal Command units flying along the Northern Ireland coastline (probably the Irish Sea) entitled to either the Atlantic Star or a bar to the Air Crew Europe if already held? I appreciate any help that can be given regarding this matter. Kind regards, Malcolm.
