The mission of Engineering and Supply Squadron is, through efficient management, to provide maximum availability of all resources in support of the operational role of the Station.

Welcome to Engineering & Supply Squadron, Royal Air Force Boulmer.

Elements of Engineering and Supply Squadron, including the radars at Boulmer, Buchan and Benbecula and the Communications System Engineering Flight are under the command of the Officer Commanding Control and Reporting Centre at RAF Boulmer. The MT and SERCo Supply elements are under the command of Officer Commanding Support Wing.

Engineering & Supply Squadron began life on the Operations Site at RAF Boulmer some fifty years ago and throughout the intervening years, has been shaped by a combination of technological change, strategic planning and administrative accountability into what is today, a centre of outstanding engineering excellence.

From the early days of radar (Linesman and Mediator), through the Cold War years of the Type 84 and Type 85 radars, until the present day, the Squadron has been entrusted with bearing the torch for Boulmer and, in ensuring the sustainability of the Unit's many assets finds itself at the very forefront of leading edge technology and provides collectively the engineering backbone of the modern United Kingdom Air Surveillance and Control System.

At the very heart of the UK air defence network almost 225, engineering, supply, Mechanical Transport (MT) and technical administration staff, provide continuous 24-hour support to the Station throughout the year and stand ready, at a moments notice, to deal swiftly and proactively with the many challenges that are frequently thrown their way.
