Lincoln Conversion Flight RAAF

Lincoln Conversion Flight was a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) training unit.

The flight was formed in July 1955 to provide operational conversion training on the Avro Lincoln heavy bomber and was disbanded in March the next year.

This squadron was equipped with Lincolns and deployed to Malaya where it was operating against Communist forces in the Malayan Emergency.

In addition to providing aircrew with experience in navigation, gunnery and bombing, formation flying and Army co-operation, the flight also ferried Lincolns between Australia and Malaya and undertook search and rescue tasks.
