No you didn't, you formed in November, it must be true because the Wiki site has used the RAF as their reference
though reallocated I suppose isn't the same as reformed, and that is where the mix up on dates has probably occurred.
No 55 was disbanded, its numberplate briefly transferring to the VC10 OCU before being re-allocated to the Dominies of No 3 FTS, Cranwell in November 1996
And you're still active on Dominies lol.
RAF - 55 Squadron
So it must be true
