1964 saw the Squadron take on a change of direction as the need for meterological flights diminished. The Squadrons new task would be flying Westland Whirlwind helicopters in the Air Sea Rescue role. The squadron was spread around the 'Northern' regions of The United Kingdom, with an administrative centre based at RAF Leconfield in Yorkshire
The Whirlwind was finally retired from active service with the Squadron in 1978 when the fleet was replaced with the Westland Seaking Helicopter
