History
It was formed on 2 January 1967 at
Middle and Far East regions.[2] However, following the Defence Review of early 1967[3] and the subsequent withdrawal from the overseas commitments, the squadron effectively ceased to exist within weeks of its formation, its crews returning to No. 360 Squadron. The new squadron was officially disbanded on 14 July 1967.[4]
