No. 15 Group (15 Gp) was a group of the Royal Air Force, which disbanded in 1945. It was operational in the last year of, and just after, the First World War, a reformation saw it active throughout the Second World War.
No. 15 Group was first formed on 1 April 1918 as No. 15 (Equipment) Group in the No. 3 Area, which became the Midland Area on 8 May 1918. [2] It was disbanded, and then reformed on 27 September 1918 as No. 15 (Aegean) Group to control 62 and 63 Wings, until finally disbanded on 1 September 1919. [1]
The group was reformed on 15 March 1939 as No. 15 (Reconnaissance) Group, part of RAF Coastal Command, at Lee-on-Solent. [1] It comprised Royal Air Force squadrons, with attached Naval Air Squadrons from the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, operating under Royal Air Force control. [3] No. 15 Group relocated its headquarters to Mount Wise, Plymouth, on 6 June 1939. By November 1939, No. 15 Group, under Air Commodore Rey Griffith Parry, DSO , [4] had expanded to ten units operating across six Royal Air Force stations. It had three squadrons equipped with Short Sunderland flying boat patrol bomber. Two, Nos. 210 and 228 Squadrons, were stationed at RAF Pembroke Dock, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, with the third squadron, No. 204, operating out of RAF Mount Batten, in Devon, England. The group had two units operating with Avro Anson, a twin-engined multi-role aircraft, across four stations, No. 502 Squadron, was based at RAF Aldergrove, in Northern Ireland and which also had a detachment at RAF Hooton Park, in Cheshire, England, and No. 217 Squadron, based at RAF St Eval, in Cornwall, England, which also operated a flight out of RAF Carew Cheriton, situated in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

[6] [5]
The following year, in August 1940, the headquarters moved to Egg Buckland Keep, and a final move in early 1941 saw it transfer to Derby House, Liverpool. [7] Its squadrons provided support and convoy escorts, maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare in the South West, Western Approaches and the Irish Sea. Air Vice-Marshal James Robb was appointed Air Officer Commanding, replacing Air Commodore Rey Griffith Parry, on 23 February 1941. [1]
On 9 April 1941 it took control of Royal Air Force units in Iceland. It continued to operate from Liverpool for the rest of the Second World War.
