On the night of 5/6 October 1942, the squadron went into action for the first time, bombing <a href="/wiki/Aachen" title="Aachen">Aachen</a> with a small number of aircraft. In 1943, the squadron flew to <a href="/wiki/Kairouan" title="Kairouan">Kairouan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tunisia" title="Tunisia">Tunisia</a>, and from there, it conducted operations against <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sicily" title="Sicily">Sicily</a>, returning to the UK in November of the same year. In December, they were re-equipped with <a href="/wiki/Handley_Page_Halifax" title="Handley Page Halifax">Handley Page Halifaxes</a> and flew their first mission with these aircraft in February 1944. Their final operation took place on 25 April 1945, when they bombed gun batteries on the tiny Frisian island of <a href="/wiki/Wangerooge" title="Wangerooge">Wangerooge</a>. Following the end of the war in Europe, in May 1945, 425 Squadron re-equipped again, this time with <a href="/wiki/Avro_Lancaster" title="Avro Lancaster">Avro Lancaster Mk X's</a>.

After re-equipping with the <a href="/wiki/CF-101_Voodoo" class="mw-redirect" title="CF-101 Voodoo">CF-101 Voodoo</a>, 425 became the RCAF <a href="/wiki/Operational_Training_Unit" class="mw-redirect" title="Operational Training Unit">Operational Training Unit</a> for this aircraft type at <a href="/wiki/RCAF_Station_Namao" class="mw-redirect" title="RCAF Station Namao">RCAF Station Namao</a> in late 1961 before transferring to its current base at <a href="/wiki/CFB_Bagotville" title="CFB Bagotville">Bagotville</a>, Quebec, and becoming a front-line squadron a few months later.
