RAF Regiment
Airfields were protected against direct and
indirect attack. This was ultimately the mission which led to the creation
the Royal Air Force
Regiment at Alma House in Dec 1941. For example, 2751 Squadron RAF Regiment
provided airfield defence at RAF Spilsby.
On 1st Feb 1942 Squadrons where numbered 2701 to 2850 and total of 270
Sqns where formed, many renumbered and many disbanded after very short
service. Due to this policy many problems have risen when trying
to discover all the battle honours belonging to any Sqn currently active
and inactive units.
