No. 94 Squadron RAF
No. 94 Squadron RAF was a Royal Air Force squadron that served in both World Wars and the early Cold War. It was formed four times.
- First formation: 1 August 1917 at Harling Road as a training unit for the Sopwith Camel. Mobilised in May 1918 and moved to France in October 1918 with S.E.5As. With the end of the war in sight, it returned to the UK in February 1919 and was disbanded on 30 June 1919 at Bramham Moor.
- Second formation: 26 March 1939 at RAF Khormaksar as a fighter squadron to defend the Aden Protectorate. In April 1941, operations were handed over to the South African Air Force (Gladiators). The squadron moved to Egypt, was re-equipped with Hurricanes in May 1941, and carried out day and night defensive patrols in the Western Desert. It began ground-attack missions in November 1941, converted to Kittyhawks in February 1942 for fighter patrols over the desert, then returned to Hurricanes for defensive duties in May 1942. In February 1944, it switched to Spitfires for sweeps over Crete, and in September 1944 moved to Greece. In December 1944 it provided air support during clashes in Athens with EAM-ELAS and was disbanded on 20 April 1945.
- Third formation: 15 December 1950 at RAF Celle in Germany as a Vampire fighter-bomber squadron. It was re-equipped with Venoms in January 1954 and disbanded on 15 September 1957.
- Fourth formation: 1 October 1960 at RAF Misson near Finningley as a Bloodhound air-defence missile unit. It disbanded on 30 June 1963.
