Formed as a Field Sqn at RAF Chivenor on 3 October 1951, and moved subsequently to RAF Rudloe Manor in October 1955, The squadron re-roled as a Light Anti-Aircraft (LAA) unit in January 1956, but reverted to being a field squadron on 2 November 1956. The squadron deployed to Egypt between 6 November and 28 December 1956. A detachment to Northern Ireland in 1957 was followed by moves to RAF Felixstowe in May 1958, RAF Upwood in July 1962 and Catterick in July 1964. Over the period 1959-1970 the squadron saw deployments to Gan , Aden , Antigua , Hong Kong and Northern Ireland. The squadron was equipped with the Tigercat missile system between 1967 and 1978, and during this period it undertook further deployments to Northern Ireland between 1971 and 1975 and British Honduras (Belize) in 1972 and from 1976 to 1994. The squadron re-roled as a Short Range Air Defence (SHORAD) unit with the Rapier Field Standard A system in 1978 and relocated to RAF Lossiemouth . Initially, the system used by the squadron was optical only, but it received DN181 Blindfire radar trackers in 1983. It eventually saw an equipment uplift to Rapier Field Standard B1 (Modified). In the period after its move to RAF Lossiemouth it undertook operational deployments to Belize , the Falkland Islands and RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. It re-located to RAF Waddington in 1996 where it became a 'cadre -ised' unit (joint Regular/Reserve) co-located with 27 Sqn RAF Regt, and disbanded at RAF Waddington in October 1998.
