From that impeccable source Wiki:
Strike Command was formed on 30 April 1968 by the merger of Bomber Command and Fighter Command,[1] which became No. 1 Group and No. 11 Group respectively. Signals Command was absorbed on 1 January 1969,[2] Coastal Command was absorbed on 28 November 1969[3] and Air Support Command (formerly Transport Command) was absorbed on 1 September 1972.[4]

All too complicated for an old man like me. In my time the only changes I can remember, 90 Group was promoted to become Signals Command and 2TAF became RAF Germany, and the changes in NEAF/MEAF/FEAF which were always fluid.
