22 Sqn has a long and illustrious history. Originally formed in September 1915, 22 Sqn has operated a wide range range of aircraft types in various parts of the world serving with distinction in both World Wars. 22 Sqn was disbanded following the Japanese surrender in 1945 and reformed as a short-range SAR Sqn in 1955; C Flt took residence at Valley in 1956 flying the Westland Whirlwind. The Whirlwind remained the mainstay of the SAR force for the next 20 years until the introduction of the more powerful twin-engined Wessex in 1976. Since the Flt formed at Valley, over 6000 rescue missions have been flown. Released: November 2007
