2 Squadron, Rhodesian Air Force

Unit
Rhodesian 6 records in this database

A flying squadron of the Rhodesian Air Force, based at Thornhill and flying the de Havilland Vampire FB.9, T.55 and FB.52 in the fighter and training role.

Separated on 25 September 2026 from the combined entity "2 Squadron (RSF)", which held both this squadron and the 2 Squadron of the Rhodesian Corps of Engineers. The two are unrelated units that share a number: in Commonwealth armies an engineer squadron is a ground unit, not a flying one.

No founding or disbandment date is recorded for this squadron. The parent service ran from 1935 to 1980, when it became the Air Force of Zimbabwe, but those are the service's dates and not this squadron's, which are not known here.
