No. 7010 (VR) Intelligence Squadron, headquartered at RAF Waddington, is a highly specialized unit within the Royal Auxiliary Air Force dedicated to Imagery Intelligence (IMINT). Established in 1953 as No. 7010 Flight, it is one of the longest continuously serving reserve units in the RAF. Its reservists are expert analysts who interpret satellite and aerial reconnaissance imagery to identify targets, monitor enemy movements, and provide critical situational awareness for commanders. While headquartered in Lincolnshire, its personnel frequently work alongside regular forces at the National Centre for Geospatial Intelligence (NCGI) at RAF Wyton. Its badge features a human eye—representing the unit's visual analysis role—superimposed on a wing, and its motto, Vocati Veniemus ("When summoned we shall be there"), reflects the readiness of its specialists to deploy whenever called upon.
