Whilst in the United Kingdom converting onto the new Vickers Wellington
bomber, a number of which were being purchased for a home defence role,
the RNZAF "New Zealand Flight" was directed by its Government to remain
for operational duties with Royal Air Force Bomber Command.
This decision was recognized when in April 1940, the Flight formed
the major part of the re-designated and named:

No. 75 (New Zealand) Squadron, Royal Air Force.

The Squadron's first permanent station was nearby
Royal Air Force Feltwell
and its outstanding operational record there between April 1940 and June 1942 would be followed
by further distinguished service on other East Anglian bases of No. 3 Group, Bomber Command.

The R A F "75 Squadron" number was ultimately presented to New zealand, No. 75 Squadron RNZAF
