After the End of World War II in Europe, on 26 May 1945 the Czechoslovak government-in-exile formed the "Letecká dopravní skupina" ("Air Transport Group"), and recruited most of its personnel from 311 Squadron. Its initial aircraft were two Avro Anson C XII aircraft bought from the RAF. On 12 June 1945 the unit began flights to Ruzyně Airport, Prague. By October the "Letecká dopravní skupina" had also acquired a number of Siebel Si 204D aircraft seized from Germany as war reparations.
