RAF14 Squadron was originally formed in 1915 operating the BE2c and was posted to the Middle East which it served throughout the Great War. During the interwar years it remained in this theatre of operations throughout. In September 1939 it was flying the Vickers Wellesley bomber and commenced operations against the Italians in 1940. During WW2 it continued to operate in the Middle East. Surviving the post war disbandment of Squadrons the squadron operated in Germany as a fighter unit and still operates today now in the Tactical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance role.
