The unit was officially reformed at RAF Benson (EGUB) on 17 Jul 2001 with the Merlin HC.3, although it had received its first airframe on 7 Mar 2001. 28(AC) Squadron is committed to Joint Helicopter Command.  A flight of 28(AC) Squadron was detatched to form 1419 (Tactical Support) Flight in 2005 and sent to southern Iraq. |
