reformed in 1937 along with many other defunct units as part of the urgent expansion of the RAF brought about by the realization of the worsening political situation in Europe, and particularly German rearmament. It was in May of that year that the squadron became part of 1 Group, Bomber Command, stationed at Upper Heyford and equipped with <B>13 Hawker Hinds</B> (single engine, two seat, open cockpit biplanes) pending conversion to Bristol Blenheims as soon as they could be made available. The first Commanding Officer was S/Ldr. Bartholemew and flying commenced on 8th June 1937 with the <B>first crash</B>, not an uncommon event with Hinds, occurring on the 24th. June (24/06/1937) when it is recorded that whilst taking off from Abingdon, Acting P/O Helsby wrote off his aircraft but he survived, although sustaining a broken jaw. </div> <bR> <div> On 5th. August 1937 (05/08/1937) the squadron was transferred to 5 Group Bomber Command and posted to Grantham with training continuing throughout the year in the Hinds. When the squadron was ordered overseas in April 1938 the Hinds went with them. The crews travelled by troopship (HMT Lancashire) to Alexandria, Egypt, under a new CO, S/Ldr. Cator, finally arriving at Heliopolis on 10th. May 1937 (10/05/1937). It is not known how the Hinds made it to Egypt from the UK but thought to be dissassembled and shipped by freighter.</div> <bR> <div> John Pritchard comments on this early period;<I> "The 113 with their Hawker Hinds had been sent out from the UK in a great hurry whilst Mussolini rattled his sabre on the Libyan border. The political scene was hotting up, Hitler had taken over Austria and the Sudetanland, and Chamberlain had waved his bit of paper announcing peace in our time. My new squadron moved out to the border at Mersa Matruh. Little was seen of the other side and as the heat went out of it, we moved back to Heliopolis. I was able to get into Cairo quite often, played cricket and hockey at the Gisira Club, and saw something of the pyramids".</I></div> <bR> <div> Training at last gave way to important work on 28th. September 1938 (28/09/1938) when the squadron was posted to a `War Station', at Mersa Matruh and took part in a complete photographic survey of the Western Desert right up to the Libyan border.  This great feat would have been of vital help in the subsequent desert battles. In March, S/Ldr. Keily took over command as the new CO.,  and his first flying with 113 was on 2nd march 1939 flying Hind K6631 as Squadron Leader.  The survey work was completed in May 1939 and the unit returned to Heliopolis.  <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" >SOURCE OF HISTORY: F/O Pat Woodward,  LAC John Pritchard, others, Kevin Crawford.
