Sgt Eric Bann 238 Squadron

Sgt Eric Bann who fought with and, was killed with 238 Squadron during the Battle of Britain wrote a letter to his parents on 21.5.40. In it he says

"Have been posted to Tangmere to help form another Squadron. My old Squadron pulled in every pilot during the last raid even including the C/O and we came back almost halved in number, so we just cant carry on the Squadron"

The Squadron he said he had been sent to help form was to be 238.

But what was his original Squadron before 238 ?
