Here's another one for the Battle of Britain experts. Following the disastrous 16 August 1940 raid on Brize Norton, flying instructors based there with 2FTS formed an unofficial ad hoc Station Defence Flight using Spitfires from 10MU. According to one instructor, the flight claimed four victories before the powers-that-be put a stop to the 'private' air force! AHB have no information on this unit, so over to you Chris and Peter and others!
