850 Squadron was a short-lived Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm fighter squadron.
Previously 850 Naval Air Squadron (850 NAS) had been a Naval Air Squadron of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm.[1] The squadron had been active in 1943 and 1943-1944.
850 Squadron was (re)formed by Australia at HMAS Albatross on 12 January 1953. Equipped with Hawker Sea Fury aircraft, the Squadron was embarked on HMAS Sydney during her post- Korean War patrol of Korean waters in 1953. It operated briefly out of Hong Kong before returning to Australia in early 1954 where it embarked aboard HMAS Vengeance for a short period. It was then disbanded on 3 August 1954.[2]
