September 1919 - Squadron Leader B F More


Squadron Leader More was the first Boss of Air Force rank to take command of the squadron and he commemorated the event by taking the squadron (which had been reduced to cadre) in September 1919 to Weston-on-the-Green.  It was there in January of the following year that the squadron was "temporarily disbanded" only to be resurrected some 11 days later on the 1st February 1920 at Oranmore in Ireland.  He remained in command until May of that year when he handed over the reins to Sqn Ldr Stent .... but not before the squadron proudly added "(AC)" to its name and title and to which it has been so referred to ever since.
