Harry: Whilst I can't add anything at all as to the potential invasion area, I'm aware that squadrons of 4 Gp, Bomber Command, were transferred to Transport Command on 7 May 1945, as the war in Europe ended. They began to train on Dakotas and acquired a range of parachute-dropping techniques, prior to deployment to the India. That could well suggest that whatever invasion plans existed may well have included an airborne element. VJ Day put paid to that need, but they still went East, initially to provide airlift for repatriation.
