By the mid 50’s the Squadron had a downturn in its fortunes. The Civilian Committee was virtually non-existent and the funds had dwindled to zero. The Chairman, Mr A S Irving, appealed for volunteers in the local paper, but it was not until October 1958 that a Committee was properly formed and the fortunes of 146 Squadron started to look up once again.
