Trials were conducted in enhancing the air-portability of RAF Regiment units.

​

2 Wing trained personnel as parachutists and in glider operations. It was proposed that the RAF Regiment should take over the role of the Glider Pilot Regiment

​

63 (Rifle) Squadron formed No 1 (Parachute) Flight and trained No 4 (Mortar) Flight to land by glider

​

Parachute trained personnel wore their parachute wings above their right breast pocket until permission was withdrawn by the Air Ministry.

​

15 (Light Anti-Aircraft) Squadron and 16 (Light Anti-Aircraft) Squadron each formed their own Parachute Teams and trained sections to land by Horsa, Hamilcar and Hadrian gliders.
