historie / History
Peruť vznikla 28. března 1943 na základně RAF Jui v Sierra Leone a až do konce války prováděla námořní hlídkování a doprovody konvojů v oblasti jižního Atlantiku. Její letci absolvovali celkem 463 bojových letů v délce 4853 operačních hodin a je jim připisováno poškození jedné nepřátelské ponorky. S koncem války byla 30. června (některé zdroje uvádějí 1. srpna) 1945 rozpuštěna.
Jednotka byla součásti RNZAF (novozélandského letectva), ale podléhala velení a operační kontrole RAF (britského Královského letectva) pod označením 490 Squadron RAF.
