Welcome To The 202 Squadron Association Website




Are you a serving or ex Squadron member?
Has an immediate family member served on 202?


If so, then we would love to hear from you.


Do have a look around our site. We hope you enjoy your stay and will sign our guest book. But, whatever you do; please, come back again.


While you are here and you match the criteria, why not join the Association? The rates are reasonable; - honest!


Membership is open to all regardless of age, rank or trade specialization. There only two criteria, a link with the Squadron and a desire to, hopefully, meet old mates and definitely make new ones.


Our thanks to all the online aviation enthusiasts who have given permission to take images and information from their sites to enhance this one. Please take time to have a look at them.

New Boss
The 29th November 2011 marked the end of an era as Wing Commander Sara Mackmin handed over the reins to Wing Commander Sue Jarvis.

Sara is off to pasture new within the wider Royal Air Force Family, we send her best wishes from the Association and hope that we will continue to see her at the annual reunions; when her new role permits

We welcome Wing Commader Jarvis to the Association and hope to see her 'in the bar' at RAF Lossiemouth, for the 2012 reunion. We look forward to the traditional state of the nation brief which provides the membership with an insight onto the progress of the Squadron and its personnel


SARF 70

I had the privelege of being able to attend the SAF 70 dedication service at the National Arboretum to recognise 70 years of continous SAR service. Photos of the occasion can be found here.

My thanks toto all contributors for thier excellent offerings



Reunion 2012

This year's Reunion was held at RAF Lossiemouth,  home of D Flight.

We all met for the traditional Meet & Greet in the hotel on the evening of Friday.

We were hosted by OC 202 Sqn and OC D Flight
The Flight personnel gave an excellent insight into thier role, explaining in detail the equipment used and, in particular the role or Paramedic Winchman

The Formal Dinner in the Officers Mess on Saturday night was a great success. Following on from the speeches Mike Lakey presented D Flight with a painting of the Fineagle rescue.

See Ian Robins more detailed memories of the visit

Interesting Video

You may enjoy this video, made by a lady in Australia. It is about her Grandfather who served on the Squadron and flew Catalina's out of Gibralter and Northern Ireland. Her grandfather was John Pitt Kennedy. The film was completed 6 months prior to Johns death
