| abstract | - No. 482 Squadron was a maintenance squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It was formed in 1942 as No. 4 Repair and Salvage Unit, renamed No. 4 Repair and Servicing Unit in 1944 and re-formed as No. 482 (Maintenance) Squadron in May 1946. No. 4 Repair and Servicing Unit moved from RAAF Station Parkes, New South Wales, to RAAF Station Amberley, Queensland, in April 1946 and was re-formed the following month as No. 482 Squadron under the command of Squadron Leader J.E. Jackson. The squadron then became a component of No. 82 Wing. No. 482 Squadron merged with No. 3 Aircraft Depot to form No. 501 Wing on 16 March 1992. No. 501 Wing continued to provide deep maintenance and logistics support for the General Dynamics F-111Cs at Amberley until 2001, when Boeing Australia was awarded the maintenance contract.
