This squadron spent considerable part of their existence in Eastern India, first at [[Barrackpore Air Force Station]], in the Calcutta suburbs and later at [[Kalaikunda]], south-west of Calcutta. It was from this airbase they saw action, briefly during September 1965 and in December 1971. No. 14 Squadron had the unusual opportunity of being deployed at the captured PAF airbase of [[Jessore (city)|Jessore]] during the final stages of the Bangladesh war. | This squadron spent considerable part of their existence in Eastern India, first at [[Barrackpore Air Force Station]], in the Calcutta suburbs and later at [[Kalaikunda]], south-west of Calcutta.
