Which squadron flew the most types?

[Buff Orpington]

There may be a few Coastal Command units in the running as they began with a motley collection of cast offs and were re-equiped as new types came available.

Jeez slug, I am going to sped months on that bloody site.

[FreddBloggs]

Would different mks count? So Spitfir 1, 5, 9, 13 etc...

[grizzlymc]

Should. Otherwise, do we differentiate Gauntlet and Gladiator, Typhoon and Tempest?

[Norman D. Landings]

Yeah, that site's sucked me in.
5 squadron, though... started the war in Wapitis.
Hawker Harts in 1940... Audaxes in 1941!
After that things get more reasonable, Mohawks '42, Hurricanes 43, Thunderbolts '44.
Fortunately they were stuck on the North West frontier for the duration combating the anti_aircraft jezzail threat.

Y'd think the hurris would do the job on the NWF.

The Harts would do the job! They & the related Audax saw combat in East Africa with the SAAF against the Italians. They were also used by the Finns, who inevitably got the most out of their charges..

God the RAF imposed some shocking designs on its aircrews. One hopes that on commencement of hostilities the designers of the Westland Wa[piti and the Handley Page Hereford were detained, tried and hanged.

They were moved to work on the Blackburn Botha....
