The Mediterranean Theater

Including Squadrons in the Middle East, and West Africa

 

While working on the Squadrons in SEAC, I have accumulated some information on activities in the Mediterranean Theatre.

Some of this relates to the activities of 159 and 160 Squadron's activities on the way to their posting in India and Ceylon.

This information is covered in the SEAC area of this site.

 

One of the "SEAC" Liberator squadrons which served previously in the Mediterranean Theater was 203 Squadron RAF.

For a portion of their time there they were equipped with Martin Baltimore aircraft.

Brief details of the Squadron and photos of Squadron members are located here.

 

 

Another Squadron in the Mediterranean Theater equipped with the Baltimore was 454 Squadron RAF.

 

 

244 Squadron RAF was based in the Iraq and Persian Gulf area.

Brief details, links to photos and 244 Squadron Association Newsletters.

 

8 Squadron RAF served in Aden until their "number plate" was passed to 200 Squadron RAF, in SEAC.
8 Squadron had received only two Liberators for conversion training, prior to the change.
Transcript of the Squadron's records for the last few months in Aden.

 

Photos from H. Turner, while serving with 1438 Flight, 244 Squadron, Comm Flight, 134 and 119 MU.

 

West Africa was a separate command, from the "Middle East", but I have included some information on 200 Squadron on this page.

Partial transcript of the records of 200 Squadron in West Africa, with a focus on their operation of the Liberator.
