194 Squadron RAF, though formed as a training unit in Egypt and ended as a casualty evacuation unit in Malaya, was for most of its active service life an RAF transport squadron that flew in South East Asia.

194 Squadron was reformed at RAF Lahore, Punjab on 13 October 1942[12] as a transport unit equipped with Hudsons.

It maintained mail and passenger routes in India until it became an airborne forces squadron in September 1943.

In February 1944, supply-dropping flights to Chindit army units in Burma began and continued for the rest of the war.

After the end of the war, the squadron was engaged in general transport duties until disbanding at Mingladon on 15 February 1946.
