No. 32 (The Royal) Squadron, currently based at RAF Northolt near London, holds the prestigious role of providing Command Support Air Transport (CSAT) for the British government and military leadership. The squadron gained its current title in 1995 after merging with the Queen's Flight, assuming the responsibility for transporting members of the Royal Family alongside senior ministers and commanders. Formed in 1916, it has a celebrated combat history, having flown Hurricanes from RAF Biggin Hill during the height of the Battle of Britain. Its motto, Adeste comites ("Rally round, comrades"), reflects a deep tradition of unity and support. Today, the squadron operates a fleet that includes the Dassault Envoy IV CC1 and the Leonardo AW109SP GrandNew helicopter, delivering high-priority personnel quickly and securely to destinations worldwide.
