My Dad George Arthur Burrett (Temp Corporal) was based at Korangia Creek Airbase from 1940-1945 RAF number 1306057. I wondered if anyone had any information on the base and operations?? Cheers Martin

No.191 Squadron was a maritime reconnaissance squadron that operated from bases in India and modern Pakistan from 1943 until it was disbanded in June 1945. The squadron was reformed at Korangi Creek near Karachi on 17 May 1943 as a general reconnaissance squadron equipped with the Catalina flying boat. Its first patrol came on 21 May, and during 1943 it was used to patrol the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf.
