Just after Christmas 2 Czech squadrons moved into Bradwell Bay. 310 had moved from RAF North Weald. The orb states their opinion of RAF Bradwell Bay:

Living conditions at BRADWELL BAY were found to be less convenient on the whole than at NORTH WEALD, the camp being widely dispersed and distances great.   The Officers are billeted together with those of 313 Squadron in Down Hall, and the accommodation for the N.C.O. Pilots is somewhat cramped, but the Station and personnel show themselves anxious to help in every way, and it is satisfactory to see the Czech Wing united again.

310 Squadrons role was to escort bombers on Ramrod raids which were short range sorties to attack ground targets carried out by bombers. The other point of these raids was to draw up German Fighters to hopefully shoot down and enhance air superiority.
