29(Reserve) Squadron
In June 2005 the Squadron officially moved to its home base at RAF Coningsby and by July it was teaching new pilots for 17(R) Squadron on a formal course. Bucking the trend of recent squadron disbandments, 29(R) Squadron officially ‘stood up' for operational service on the 4 th November 2005. This signified a major milestone in the introduction of the Typhoon to RAF service, as it indicated the squadron is now ready to begin training front-line pilots to fully equip current and future Typhoon Squadrons. For 29(R) Squadron it signifies a long and healthy future, one that is certain to celebrate its centenary and beyond .
