Hi That is about the time Naval 8 was reformed from flights of 1, 4 and 5 Wings at St Pol is it not? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgun1918 Posted 4 November , 2022 Share Posted 4 November , 2022 Mike has just beaten me to it. The squadron had reformed at St Pol the previous day and on 26 October moved to Vert Galant where it came under control of the RFC - 22 Wing, 5 Brigade and remaining there until 3 February 1917 when the squadron returned to St Pol under joint control of Dunkerque Command and Dover Patrol.
