10 Squadron was formed at Farnborough on 1 January 1915 but later that week moved to Brooklands, near Weybridge in Surrey. Now based at RAF Brize Norton, as part of the AirTanker Hub, the Squadron operates the Voyager A330 tanker/transport aircraft in the AT (Air Transport), AAR (Air-to-Air Refuelling) and VVIP roles. Together with its sister No 101 Sqn, the two units employ a joint manning strategy on flying tasks, without losing a strong sense of individual unit identity as was evident in the Squadron's Centennial Year of 2015 when HRH The Princess Royal presented No 10 Squadron with a new Standard.
The 10 Sqn Association was formed in 1984 with the aim of preserving the spirit of comradeship formed during active service on the unit and a close relationship continues to be maintained with the present day Squadron. Membership is open to all who have served, or continue to serve on 10 Squadron, together with their relatives or friends of former Squadron members.
If you are a potential member, the Association Committee hopes that you enjoy reading the information on this website and after joining the Association, if you so choose, you will be granted access to the Members' Area, where many past records and other items of interest await you. Joining instructions are given in the Top Menu.
The Association organises two main events each year. A Reunion Dinner is usually held each May in the RAF Brize Norton local area, to promote a strong fellowship amongst our members. In November, a Remembrance Day Service takes place at the 10 Squadron Memorial which is located at the entrance to the former RAF Melbourne in Yorkshire, where the Squadron was based in WW2. The ceremony preserves the memory of the personnel who sacrificed their lives when serving on the Squadron in WW2 and also remembers those who have passed away during peacetime in later years. All are welcome to attend. Scroll down further to read of the Memorial.

Memorabilia
Be advised that because the Association has no permanent postal address or official 'home' as such, we cannot accept any items of personal memorabilia that family members might consider appropriate to donate to the Association. Whilst we are most grateful for their kindness to think of us as possibly being suitable recipients, it may nevertheless be more practical to donate any such items to a museum or local history society.
In that way, items will be recorded and placed on an inventory which should then prevent them from subsequently appearing for sale on internet 'sales' websites where their future would be indeterminate. Sorry.
