Be aware of the fact that AOP squadrons never have operated as a squadron.
It was divided in a HQ-Flight, A-, B- and C-Flight and they have operated from different "airfields".
The history of the unit can be found in the National Archives, former PRO, in Kew London in file Air 27/2183 or WO 171/1225.
