historie
Peruť bola vytvorená 9. júla 1942 v Heliopolise ako spojovacia a zásobovacia jednotka 216. skupiny (Group). Zabezpečovala prevoz pasažierov a vojenského materiálu. Rovnako však pôsobila v spojovacích úlohách. Do septembra 1943 k týmto úlohám používala veľké množstvo typov lietadiel, ktoré boli zrovna poruke. V septembri 1943 prebehla štandartizácia, pričom potom boli používané iba Lockheed Lodestar, Avro Anson, Fairchild Argus a Percival Proctor. 29. februára 1944 táto jednotka bola včlenená do Blízkovýchodnej spojovacej peruti (Middle East Comminications Squadron) a zaniká.
1. februára 1953 bola No. 4 Ferry Unit v Hawardene preznačená na No. 173 Squadron a až do svojho rozpustenia 2. septembra 1957 plnila prepravné, zásobovacie a transportné úlohy.
