536 Squadron RAF was one of the ten Turbinlite nightfighter squadrons of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.
536 Squadron was formed at RAF Predannack, Cornwall on 8[1] September 1942, from No.
Instead of operating only Turbinlite and -rudimentary- Airborne Intercept (AI) radar equipped aircraft (Havocs and Bostons) and working together with a normal nightfighter unit, such as in their case No.
247 Squadron RAF while still 1457 Flight,[3] the unit now also flew with their own Hawker Hurricanes.
It was disbanded at RAF Fairwood Common, Glamorganshire on 25 January 1943,[1] when Turbinlite squadrons were, due to lack of success on their part and the rapid development of AI radar, thought to be superfluous.
