Quick query: Where did 44 Squadron go with its Canberras after leaving Cottesmore in February 1955?
Where did it disband as a Canberra unit on 16 July 1957?
Honington?

According to “Bomber Squadrons of the R.A.F. and their Aircraft”, 44 Sqn went to Honington where they disbanded in July 1957.
I hope that this helps.

The Ken Delve Canberra book certainly backs up the idea that they moved to Honington and disbanded there.
During some of that period the sqn would have been detatched to Cyprus for the Suez crisis.
