After disbandment in 1961 the Sqn reformed in 1962 to be equipped with
the Vulcan B2, the final Vulcan-equipped sqn to be created. It moved from
RAF Cottesmore to Akrotiri along with 9
Sqn. After 6 years the squadron returned to Scampton, staying
until disbandment in Feb 1982.
I was just browsing and found myself looking at your 35 sqn site.I was
a navigator on the sqn when it returned to Scampton from Akrotiri in January
1975. The Sqn Commander at the time was Wg Cdr Ken Watson.
