Unit History:

854 squadron
Although the crews and staff were mustered by the end of 1943, the unit did not officially form with Avenger IIs as an anti-shipping squadron until 1 Jan 1944 at Squantum in the USA. After a short period of operations over the English Channel prior to D-Day, and about a year in the Far East, the unit left its Avenger IIIs behind, sailed for the UK and disbanded on 8 Dec 1945.
The unit reformed with the Sea King ASaC.7 on 13 Dec 2006 at RNAS Culdrose from 849 Squadron, A Flight.
