462 Sqn was renumbered as 614 Sqn on 15/02/44 whilst enroute to Celone, Italy with Halifax II a/c, and later re-equipped with Liberator VIII's at Amendola, Italy until 27/07/45 when it in turn was renumbered as 214 Sqn.
614 Sqn reformed at Llandow on 10/05/46 though its first a/c, Harvard T.2B KF149, was not received until September 1946. Harvards continued to serve the unit until July 1954. The units principal equipment, however, was to be the Spitfire LF.16e and the first of these, TD403, duly arrived in late October 1946. Build-up with Spitfires was slow and it was not until July 1947 that the Sqn was up to strength. Spitfire F.22's replaced the LF.16e's from July 1948 and soldiered on until April 1951.
The Sqn received its first jet equipment in the summer of 1950 in the form of two Meteor T.7's. These accompanied eight Spitfires on that years summer camp to Sylt to give pilots jet experience. The first Vampire F.3s arrived in July 1950, followed by FB.5's in September 1951, with 614 Sqn flying these from Llandow until it disbanded, along with the other Auxiliary Squadrons, on 10/03/57. Actual flying operations had finished a couple of weeks earlier.
When reformed in 1946/47 the Reserve Command code "RAU- " was used until the Sqn was transferred to Fighter Command in 1949 when the code "7A- " was adopted. The codes were superceded by red/green interlocking triangles on the boom of the Vampires, either side of the roundels.
In September 1950 the Sqn was allocated a Spitfire LF.16e, RW394 7280M, for display purposes. It was placed on display adjacent to the Glue Pot Lane entrance at Llandow. Its subsequent fate is something of a mystery, but it had disappeared well before 614 Sqns disbandment and Llandows closure in March 1957.
