No. 462 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force squadron which currently forms part of the Information Warfare Wing in the RAAF's Aerospace Operational Support Group. No. 462 Squadron RAAF was first formed on 7 September 1942 at Fayid, Egypt and was the only heavy bomber squadron in North Africa during 1942. As the Squadron only contained a small number of Australians it was redesignated No. 614 Squadron RAF on 3 March 1944. A new 462 Squadron RAAF was formed in Britain in August 1944 as part of RAF Bomber Command. The Squadron conducted operations over North-Western Europe as a bomber and electronic warfare squadron until being disbanded at the end of the war. No. 462 Squadron is currently a non-flying information operations squadron located at RAAF Base Edinburgh.
