Correct. It was during Leonard Cheshire's time when the Sqn moved to Woodhall Spa, where 97 Sqn was based.

Sqn Ldr Les Munro D.S.O., D.F.C., describes it some 4 minutes into reel 5 of this IWM Oral History recorded in New Zealand

(incidentally the reason L.M. left the service and flying in 1945 was because he suffered an eye injury)
