Just found this link: http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/Squadrons/RAF_TAF_FAA_Groups.html I never realised the FAA contributed to the 2TAF. was this temporary? or did it continue through NW Europe?
No I never read that before either. I am curious as to the difference in functions of the Fleet Air Arm and the RAF Coastal Command. Seems like coastal patrol and anti - sub patrol would be a naval duty and fall under the FAA and not the RAF. I don't even know who commanded Coastal Command during the war. I guess he was over shadowed by Harris in press coverage.
