No. 467 Squadron was a Royal Australian Air Force heavy bomber squadron during World War II. It was formed in the United Kingdom in November 1942 and was equipped with Avro Lancaster heavy bombers. The Squadron formed part of RAF Bomber Command and conducted raids on Germany, France and Italy from 1943 until 1945. Following the end of the war in Europe No. 467 Squadron was selected to form part of Tiger Force and operate against Japan from bases in Okinawa. However, the war ended before the Squadron deployed to Asia and it was disbanded in the United Kingdom in September 1945.
