I take issue with the statement by 16 Blades that Lyneham has never had sqn based engineering. In 1970, elements of the Strat Line Servicing Squadron and the Comet Scheduled Servicing Flight element of Base Support Squadron were amalgamated into 216 Sqn Engineering Flight. 216 Sqn was then responsible for 1st 2nd and 3rd line servicing of its own aircraft until disbanded in 1975.
