A detachment to Northern Ireland in 1957 was followed by moves to RAF Felixstowe in May 1958, RAF Upwood in July 1962 and Catterick in July 1964. Over the period 1959-1970 the squadron saw deployments to Gan, Aden, Antigua, Hong Kong and Northern Ireland. The squadron was equipped with the Tigercat missile system between 1967 and 1978, and during this period it undertook further deployments to Northern Ireland between 1971 and 1975 and British Honduras (Belize) in 1972 and from 1976 to 1994. The squadron re-roled as a Short Range Air Defence (SHORAD) unit with the Rapier Field Standard A system in 1978 and relocated to RAF Lossiemouth.
