As Duncan has pointed out Britannica may only have been a name taken after service in Britain it's original name was Ala 1 Flavia Augusta, however Spaul tells us that it was in Britain during the trib' pot X of Caudius which is 50AD.
This then may raise yet another question for if it had served in Britain and is recorded as having come from Germania, it may make us think that it had been here in 43AD went to Germania and came right back again so soon to be here in Britain in 50AD.
