Formé à l'origine en 1925 en tant qu'escadron de bombardiers légers, son rôle est modifié en 1938 pour devenir une unité coopérante avec l'armée de terre et en 1939 pour devenir un escadron de chasse. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'escadron pilote des Supermarine Spitfire et prend part à la bataille d'Angleterre. Réformé en 2006, l'escadron assume actuellement le rôle de soutien à la mission ISTAR (renseignement militaire). Dans ce rôle, l'escadron a fourni des opérations de vol et un soutien du renseignement à la RAF au pays et à l'étranger, d'abord depuis Édimbourg avant de retourner dans sa ville natale de Glasgow en août 2008. L'escadron a subi une transformation entre 2012 et 2014 alors qu'il assurait des branches et des métiers plus diversifiés et passait sous le commandement du groupe AOC 1, relevant de la composante aérienne de la force conjointe britannique et des réserves du groupe du quartier général 1. À la fin de 2014, l'escadron a déménagé son quartier général au centre de réserve dans la région de King's Park, au sud de Glasgow. Il a ensuite été confirmé en tant qu'escadron de soutien des services généraux (GSS) du 1er groupe et, avec les autres escadrons GSS du 1er groupe, est passé des auspices de la composante aérienne de la force conjointe britannique pour s'asseoir sous le 1 * Commandant Air & Space Warfare Centre.

After the war, the squadron was reinstated as a fighter squadron within the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, until all these units disbanded in March 1957. Reformed on 1 July 2006, the Squadron assumed the ISTAR mission support role formerly held by the Mission Support Element (MSE) of 603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron. In this role the squadron provided flight operations and intelligence support to the RAF at home and overseas, first from Edinburgh before returning to its home city of Glasgow in August 2008. The squadron underwent a transformation between 2012 and 2014 as it took on more diverse branches and trades and moved under the command of AOC 1 Group, reporting through the UK Joint Force Air Component and Headquarters 1 Group Reserves. At the end of 2014 the squadron moved its headquarters to the Reserve Centre in the King's Park area on the south side of Glasgow. It was later confirmed as a 1 Group General Service Support (GSS) Squadron and, along with the other 1 Group GSS Squadrons, moved from auspices of the UK Joint Force Air Component to sit under the 1* Commandant Air & Space Warfare Centre.
