No.620 Squadron Codes
Hi,
Is there any definite date that No.620 Squadron began using the codes D4. The squadron and Station ORB does not record anything. Thank you

Re: No.620 Squadron Codes
Steve. They were using both codes from March 44. QS from formation in June 43 as a
bomber sqn. and D4 in March when they expanded strength so required separate codes (as Airborne / Transport). They were used until disbandment in 1946. Examples.... QS-G EF203 Aug. 1943 Stirling III QS-B LJ875 Sept. 44 (Arnhem) Stirling IV D4-Y LJ566 March 44 Stirling IV D4-X PP375 May 45 Halifax VII At Arnhem they retained the June 1944 "D-Day" bands on the fuselage but much narrower (none on wings).
