Subsequently the squadron was reformed in Malta, again with Wellingtons, and saw action in Libya and Egypt. The squadron later operated from Libya and Italy in a Special Duties role equipped with B-24s, Halifaxes, Lysanders and Stirlings supporting resistance movements in southern France, Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Yugoslavia and Poland.
