No. 518 Squadron was formed at Stornaway in July 1943 as a meteorological unit equipped with Halifaxes. Moving to Tiree that September, the Squadron remained similarly employed until the War’s end, latterly carrying depth-charges for anti-submarine duties. No. 518 was disbanded in October 1946, when it was absorbed by No. 202 Squadron.
