Due to cuts to RAF basic training as a result of the Strategic Defence and Security Review, 85(R) Sqn (part of Number 1 Elementary Flying Training School) were disbanded in August 2011. No Elementary Flying Training therefore now takes place at RAF Church Fenton, with the only flying being that of Yorkshire UAS and 9 AEF. I understand there are now only 5 Tutor aircraft based at Church Fenton.
See below for a picture of the final 85(R) Sqn course graduation at Church Fenton, 02 Aug 11.
