RAF No 824 Squadron Formed on 3 April 1933 by raising No 460 (Fleet Spotter Reconnaissance) Flight to squadron status at Gosport. It embarked its Fairey IIIFs aboard HMS Eagle that month and sailed for the China Station. On arrival in Hong Kong, it absorbed No 440 Flight. The squadron was disbanded on 8 October 1934 by being re-numbered No 825. However, on the same day a new 824 was formed, this time at Upavon, equipped with Seals. Once again it was destined for the China Station, this time sailing aboard HMS Hermes in November 1934. Nine Swordfish and crews left Portsmouth in January 1937 aboard the Eagle and on arrival in Hong Kong in April, took over the 824 number-plate. The squadron was now engaged in the Torpedo Spotter Reconnaissance role, which it maintained up to and beyond being transferred to Admiralty control on 24 May 1939.
