No. 653 Squadron RAF
No. 653 Squadron RAF was a unit of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.
Squadron Numbers 651 to 663 were Air Observation Post units working closely with British Army units in artillery spotting and liaison. A further three of these squadrons, 664–666, were manned with Canadian personnel. Their duties and squadron numbers were transferred to the Army with the formation of the Army Air Corps on 1 September 1957.〔Halley 1988, p. 444.〕〔Jefford 2001, pp. 102–105.〕
The squadron is now No. 653 Squadron AAC
