851 Naval Air Squadron (851 NAS), also referred to as 851 Squadron, was a Fleet Air Arm (FAA) naval air squadron of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy (RN). It operated both Grumman Avenger torpedo bomber and Grumman Wildcat fighter aircraft between 1943 and 1945. It was established at Squantum, Massachusetts, in October 1943, as a Torpedo Bomber Reconnaissance with Grumman Avenger Mk.I. In January 1944, the squadron traveled across the USA to California, before embarking in HMS Shah. The carrier was assigned to the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron and was one of the few escort carriers that went into active service before journeying to the UK and the squadron saw active service in the Far East. During its time it added a flight of four Grumman Wildcat Mk V, but the squadron was disbanded in October 1945. The squadron was reformed for the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet Air Arm as 851 Squadron RAN on 3 August 1954.
