[2] After a few months of training at Hounslow and Fort Grange, Gosport it departed for the Middle East in November of that same year for Army co-operation duties during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign.

[3] In 1916 the squadron's B.E.2s were supplemented with a small number of Airco DH.1A two seat fighters for escort duties, with the type remaining in use until March 1917.

[6] In November 1917 the squadron was equipped with Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8s, which were used to perform reconnaissance duties, attacking the Turkish Seventh Army as it retreated following the Battle of Nablus.

The squadron operated Bristol Fighters and used them for various duties including photo surveying and air policing.

[10] Airco DH.9A bombers supplemented the squadron's Bristol fighters in June 1924, using them to attack and together with RAF-operated armoured cars help defeat a several-thousand strong raiding force of Ikhwan tribesmen at Umm el Amad, 12 miles (19 km) south of Amman in Jordan in August that year.

[5][13][14] The Fairey Gordon, a radial engined derivative of the IIIF re-equipped the squadron in September 1932, being used for operations against Arab rioters during the 1933 Palestine riots.

[24] The squadron was deployed in support of Operation Brevity on 15–16 May 1941, an unsuccessful British offensive,[25] and carried out attacks on German and Italian motor transport, with five Blenheims being shot down by Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters of III Gruppe, Jagdgeschwader 27 while carrying out strafing attacks along the Tobruk–Capuzzo road on 21 May.

[28] On 7 July 1941, the squadron withdrew from the Western Desert, being based in Palestine and Iraq until it returned to Egypt in November 1941.

[31][32] The squadron used its Marauders for long-range maritime reconnaissance missions, minelaying and anti-shipping attack with torpedoes over the Aegean.

[37] The squadron flew its last Marauder mission on 21 September that year, leaving its equipment behind when it transferred back to the UK.

[38] On its return to the UK, the squadron was based at RAF Chivenor and carried out anti-submarine mission over the Western Approaches and the Bay of Biscay using Vickers Wellington Mk.XIVs.

[39] On 30 June 1970 the squadron was reformed at RAF Bruggen and operated McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2s until April 1975, when they were replaced with the SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1.

The squadron's twelve Jaguars were expected by RAF planning staff to suffer attrition of one third their strength, leaving sufficient survivors to deliver their stockpile of eight WE.177 nuclear bombs.

It participated in Operation Resinate (South), flying sorties from Ali Al Salem AB, Kuwait until January 2003.

[46] Four crews from the squadron took part in the first detachment of Tornado GR Force personnel to Operation HERRICK in summer 2009.
