Removal of overseas units
Thank you for your last edit. As I understand it, only squadrons in the British Isles were part of Transport Command, not the units overseas. It's really important to get as good a source as possible in this regard. Buckshot06 (talk) 19:51, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Nos 44, 47, and 48 Groups
I am somewhat surprised to have to emphasize to you that RAF groups do not form part of each other - they are responsible to a superior command.

If you have addends of information which are not sufficient to create an article yet, the first and best option is to do more research, and wait until you have sufficient WP:RELIABLE material to expand on bare details of formation/disband dates and unit lists from Rafweb.org and elsewhere, to create a well-rounded article. You will see the first series of edits that produced 46 Group had a considerable amount of readable text - we are aiming for Featured Articles.

But second if you wish to immediately copy out what is available and do not wish to wait, follow the hierarchy of military organisation - there is a whole section on this page with wings and squadrons, but nothing whatsoever on Transport Command's groups, until I added the data you had helpfully assembled on other groups. Put the data on the higher formation page, where it is placed in proper context, until you have enough material to create an understandable description for "..readers [who] are reading the article to learn." (Also "It is possible that the reader knows nothing about the subject, so the article needs to explain the subject fully." - WP:AUDIENCE). Just providing bare technical details only accessible to a specialist reader is not doing what we're aiming at. So better to assemble enough context then create a separate page.
