No. 74 Sqn was formed on July 1st 1917 as a training Sqn for the RFC. They were remobilised on March 1st 1918, as a ‘service’ Sqn. 74 Sqn then moved to France where they were equipped with SE5 single seat aircraft. Whilst in France, 74 Sqn was nicknamed ‘Tiger Squadron’ because of the aggressive spirit shown by their pilots. That is why we now see the Tigers head on 74 Sqn aircraft. No. 74 Sqn re-equipped with Hawker Hunter F.4s at Horsham St. Faith in March 1957. These were supplemented by F.Mk.6s in November that year, with several aircraft being painted with a fascimile of ‘Sailor’ Malan’s signature on the nose
