The only 188 Sqn I can think of was the fictional Lancaster unit in the 1952 film Appointment in London.
If you read the second paragraph on the link it says:
Of the above 'history', only a few parts are true. 188 Squadron did exist from 1917-1919, it was given the Squadron Code XD in 1939 but was never reformed.
