1312 Flight provides aerial refuelling, air transport, search and rescue, and maritime patrol.

No 1312 (Transport) Flight was first formed on 19 April 1944 (80 years ago) (1944-04-19), at RAF Llandow,[1] south Wales.

After June 1944, it was involved in transporting wounded serviceman back to England from France, until it was disbanded on 21 July 1944 (80 years ago) (1944-07-21).

Presently, 1312 Flt utilise aircraft and crew from RAF Brize Norton.

No 1435 Flight's badge contained a Cassin's Falcon (a Peregrine falcon, common in the Falklands), so in keeping with the larger transport aircraft operated by 1312, a larger bird, the Upland Goose was chosen.
