far east casualty evacuation flight
| |
Formed on 1 May 1950 as the Casualty Air Evacuation Flight to develop operational techniques with helicopters, in the casevac role and in hot climates. The unit changed its title shortly afterward and initially equipped with the Dragonfly HC.2, followed by the improved HC.4. Although primarily a trials unit, plenty of British servicemen had cause to thank the Dragonfly for extracting them from difficult situations in Malaya. It was disbanded in Feb 1953 to become the nucleus of 194 Squadron.  |
