Description

On 5 October 1939 No. 222 squadron was reformed at RAF Duxford flying Blenheim Mk.If’s in the shipping protection role,[4] but in March of the following year it re-equipped with Spitfires and became a day-fighter unit. It fought during the Battle of Britain, being based at RAF Hornchurch on 15 September 1940, under Squadron Leader “Johnnie” Hill. This is an account and recollections of those times.
