WW2 British No. 222 Squadron Royal Air Force Officers Table Lighter

For sale is a WW2 British No. 222 (Natal) Squadron Royal Air Force Officers Table Lighter. This table lighter is engraved on the top “To R.T.H from the officers of the 222 31.12.1941”. Unfortunately this lighter needs a new flint and the watch movement needs a service. 

  However this is a nice piece that’s connected to the No. 222 Squadron which was a Royal Air Force fighter unit. On 5 October 1939 No. 222 Squadron was reformed at RAF Duxford flying Blenheim Mk.If's in the shipping protection role, but in March of the following year it re-equipped with Spitfires and became a day-fighter unit. It fought during the Battle of Britain, being based at RAF Hornchurch on 15 September 1940, under Squadron Leader "Johnnie" Hill. It later took part in Operation Jubilee, the 1942 Dieppe raid. In December 1944 the squadron converted to Tempests, which it flew until the squadron was recalled to the UK to re-equip with Meteors.   This will be sent via Royal Mail 1st class signed for and dispatched within two working days.
