207
Squadron at RAF Marham in Norfolk was one of eight
squadrons equipped with B-29 Superfortresses on loan from
the US Government. They were used as an interim strategic
bomber between the obsolete Avro Lincolns and the new jet
bombers. Relatively luxurious equipment, technical
differences and large crew made them a novelty for air
and groundcrew. Serviceability was reputedly not
helped by an inadequate purchase of spares. 207 flew
Washington B.1s from July 1951 to March 1954. |
