No. 510 Squadron RAF

No. 510 Squadron was a Royal Air Force transport and liaison aircraft squadron that disbanded during April 1944. It operated during the Second World War having formed during October 1942.

History
During 1942 it was decided that No. 24 Squadron was too large and the internal communication flight became No. 510 Squadron, on 15 October 1942 at RAF Hendon, located in London. The squadron inherited an assortment of light transport types to allow it fly communications and liaison flights within the United Kingdom. On 8 April 1944, still at RAF Hendon, the squadron was disbanded when it was renamed to the Metropolitan Communications Squadron, inheriting the aircraft and code(s) of 510 squadron.

Aircraft operated
The Stampe SV.4 was "liberated" by two Belgian pilots and flown across the Channel from occupied Belgium in 1941.
