No 201 (Guernsey’s Own) Squadron Association provides a focal point for current and former members of one of the Royal Air Force’s oldest squadrons to keep in contact with old friends and comrades. The website supports this aim and also contains stories, articles and images that provide a personal insight into the history of No. 201 Squadron.
The site is currently undergoing a period of re-devlopment and we are looking for association members to contribute and actively participate in adding content for your enjoyment.
Whether you are a current member, a new member, someone with a family connection with the Squadron or just someone interested in maritime aviation please feel free to browse the site – the aim is to have something for everyone.
OUR HISTORY
As the Squadron can trace its roots back to 1914, this makes No 201 the oldest maritime squadron in the world. The Squadron has participated in many of the major events of the 20th century and the Squadron Standard is testimony to this. 201’s Battle Honours are:
- Western Front 1915-1918
- Arras, Ypres 1917
- Somme 1918
- Norway 1940
- Atlantic 1941-1945
- Bismark and Normandy 1944
Further honours not on the Standard but to which the Squadron is entitled are: Amiens, Hindenburg Line, Channel and North Sea 1939-1945, Biscay 1941-1945, South Atlantic 1982, and Arabian Gulf 1990-1991.
