Is this a quiz "off the top of your head" or is surfing the internet allowed?

Surf away, but if you can do " off the top of your head" your amazing

Haha I cannot I'm afraid. OK I'll take a stab after some digging. 1 sqn formed into 401 sqn RCAF. But before that happened and before the war broke out they were flying the Armstrong Whitworth Sisken. They then switched to the Hawker Hurricane and subsequently were posted to the UK where they participated in the Battle of Britain.
Now I may be off, so let me know. I didn't even know what a Sisken was until looking into this though to be perfectly honest.

Armstrong Whitworth Siskin IIIAs and a few Siskin IIIDC two-seaters as trainers.
