No. 22 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force reserve squadron that provides support for the Permanent Air Force in the Sydney region. The squadron was formed in April 1936 and saw action during World War II as a bomber squadron equipped with A-20 Boston bombers. The Squadron conducted operations throughout the South West Pacific Area until the end of the war. Although No. 22 Squadron was disbanded in mid-1946, it was reformed as a non-flying reserve unit in 1948 and has been located at RAAF Base Richmond since 1953.
