This was short-lived however and the squadron reformed at RAF Aldergrove on 4 May 1992, again with the Puma HC.1. The squadron is well experienced in night flying; almost a third of flights are undertaken after dark.The 2004 Future Capabilities chapter of the UK Defence White Paper, Delivering Security in a Changing World announced a plan to reduce the squadrons Puma force by 6 helicopters. It was announced in late 2008 that the squadron was to move to RAF Benson by 2010. The Squadron re-equipped with Puma HC Mk2 in 2014 following removal from service of the Puma HC Mk1.
