QinetiQ Boscombe Down

Gents quick question (hopefully appropriate for this forum),is Boscombe still home to the following sections,any subtractions/additions ?

• Rotary Wing Test Squadron
• Fast Jet Test Squadron
• Heavy Aircraft Test Squadron
• Handling Squadron
• Empire Test Pilots' School.
• Southampton University Air Squadron

I'm writing a brief discription of QQ at Boscombe & want to make sure I have my facts straight.
Thanks,
woptb.

It is home to RWTS and SUAS fast jets have gone and HATS is now 206R SQN but is still at Boscombe. ETPS and Handling Sqn are also still at Boscombe.

That would be a hard task for those that work there. A commonly heard cry is "What are we called this week"

Well, most importantly, let it be absolutely clear the Unit is:

MOD Boscombe Down

QQ are contracted to manage the site, Boscombe is not a QQ facility.
