Mediterranean operations with 621 sqn. No. 621 Squadron RAF was formed at Port Reitz, Kenya, on 12 September 1943 as a general reconnaissance unit equipped with 16 Wellington XIIIs, with a role of carrying out maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine duties over the western Indian Ocean and the coasts of East Africa. In October 1943, the squadron moved to Mogadishu, Somalia, and in November, supplemented its normal duties by being tasked to look for four thousand stolen camels on behalf of the army.[5] In December 1943, the squadron moved to RAF Khormaksar, Aden. In a more serious series of sorties, the squadron managed to knock out the U-852, but at the beginning of 1945 activities had dropped so low that the squadron was reduced from 16 to 8 aircraft.
