Squadron Newsletters
Air Commodore Sir Hughie Edwards VC, KCMG, CB, DSO, OBE, DFC remarked:
"Your Squadron had a most illustrious record in WWII and its strong sense of comradeship and esprit de corps has been made apparent by the fact that your quarterly paper 458 Squadron News has been kept alive for twenty five years. This is a tribute to the feeling inculcated in you during those desperate days of the War."
We have now been in publication for 75 years - the August 2024 edition is Journal number 277
