Still in its original role as a night bomber squadron it first used the Handley Page Heyford. The squadron became part of No. 4 Group Bomber Command and re-equipped with the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley. The squadron was active on the second day of the Second World War dropping leaflets over Germany. Operations Record Books seen at the Public Record Office in Kew show that 2 Whitley Vs flew out of Topcliffe on 27 November 1940 to bomb "docks andshipping" at Havre.
