During the period of the Squadron's disbandment the 10 Squadron Association has nevertheless remained very active. We have 2 main events each year. The first is the annual Remembrance Day Service which takes place each November at the 10 Squadron Memorial at the entrance to the former RAF Melbourne in Yorkshire. The second is the annual reunion at RAF Brize Norton over 2 days each May. During 10 Squadron's disbandment period we have been privileged to enjoy the hosting of 101 Squadron, currently flying the VC10 at RAF Brize Norton. We are grateful for their close association with us.
Please browse through our website which is administered by Dick King, a former VC10 captain on 10 Squadron. The Association Committee welcomes you to this site; please enjoy the information, and join us if you served on 10 Squadron itself, or were associated with the Squadron.

In 2008, AirTanker was awarded the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) Contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to provide the Royal Air Force (RAF) with a safe, reliable and efficient air transport and air to air refuelling service over a 24 year period (from delivery of the first aircraft).
The FSTA programme will use 14 new, specially converted A330 aircraft and AirTanker will also deliver all the associated support services including aircraft maintenance, training, infrastructure, fleet management and ground services. The first Voyager aircraft has now arrived at RAF Brize Norton and will be operated by No. 10 Squadron alongside a second squadron which has yet to be announced by the RAF.

Formed, as part of the Royal Flying Corps, in 1915 during World War I at Farnborough, 10 Squadron served on the Western Front in France in the spotting and bombing roles with a variety of aircraft types. Like many other squadrons, it was disbanded in 1919 following the end of WW1. The Squadron reformed as a bomber unit at RAF Upper Heyford in 1928, before moving to RAF Dishforth in 1937.
