No. 673 Squadron RAF was a glider squadron of the Royal Air Force, active during the Second World War.

History

No. 673 Squadron was formed at Bikram, Patna in (then) British India on 1 January 1945[5] as a glider squadron, with the intention of being used for airborne operations by South East Asia Command. It continued to train, as part of No. 344 Wing RAF, until the surrender of Japan, when it became surplus to requirements; the squadron was disbanded on 25 October 1945 at Kargi Road.[5]

Present

The original squadron is represented today by 673 (AH) Training Squadron of 7 (Training) Regiment, Army Air Corps.
