By the beginning of 1945 the advance was starting to move out of the jungle and into the open plain around Mandalay. From here the flights supported the ground troops in their advance sometimes moving position on an almost daily basis. SHQ and the three Flights finally came together again at Mingladon airfield at Rangoon in May 1945.
In June 1945 the Squadron was withdrawn to Bombay to prepare for the re-capture of Malaya and Singapore. Although Japan surrendered before the invasion took place, the operation went ahead but with the landings unopposed. 565 Air Observation Post Squadron RAF thus ended their war in Malaya.
