New Typhoon Squadron Takes To The Sky in Scotland
Number 1 (Fighter) Squadron, one of the oldest squadrons in the Royal Air Force, has been returned to active service today.
The stand-up of the Squadron, marked by a magnificent parade and flypast during the Royal Air Force Leuchars Airshow, sees the Squadron being equipped with the advanced multi-role Typhoon.
Number 1 (Fighter) Squadron was disbanded in 2010 with the retirement of the venerable Harrier from service but, today, the new 1 (Fighter) Squadron joins its sister unit – 6 Squadron – as the second Typhoon unit based in Scotland.
