On 16 January 1941, a detachment of three Sunderlands from No. 210 Squadron at Pembroke Dock became No. 95 Squadron which flew its first boat out to Gibraltar early in February.

After flying patrols, the Squadron began to arrive at its base at Freetown, Sierra Leone to begin anti-submarine patrols over the South Atlantic.

In March 1943, No. 95 moved to Gambia, operating detachments from Sierra Leone, Dakar and Liberia for the rest of the war. On 30 June 1945, the Squadron disbanded.

This website is dedicated to the men who served there.

If you have recollections or photos you would like to share or you have relatives who served with 95 Squadron we would be very interested in hearing from you.
