History
[ edit ]

Instead of operating only Turbinlite and -rudimentary- Airborne Intercept (AI ) radar equipped aircraft (Havocs and Bostons ) and working together with a normal nightfighter unit, such as in their case No. 257 Squadron RAF while still 1456 Flight, the unit now also flew with their own Hawker Hurricanes .
