618 Squadron was formed to follow up the successes of 617 Squadron with a new device codenamed Highball. It was a "Bouncing bomb" designed to be carried by Mosquitos and employed against shipping.

No wonder I couldn't find any!!
LATVIA and FINLAND
Latvian Air Force 1918-40

1. Junkers CL.I
Serial no. 10, Latvian Aviation Park, 1920. Aircraft is finished overall in Natural Metal. No serial number is carried. The early style of Latvian Ugunskrusts insignia is used with the hooks of the cross pointing in an anti-clockwise direction and is in Dark Red. It appears on a White circle on the fuselage sides and on White panels on the wings. This machine crashed early on in its career with the Latvians. The remains of the fuselage were repainted after 1921 with a later style of markings, and used as an airman's funeral carriage.

FINLAND

Finland.

Correct Owen D. Both countries had the insignia before the more infamous exmple was adopted by Germany and neither had anything to do with Nazi affiliations despite Finland fighting the Russians.
