Pre-1981 Aberdeen Scotland University Air Squadron Shoulder Title Cloth Badge

Aberdeen Scottish OTC RAF Uni Air Sqn patch. VGC.

In 1980, Aberdeen Airport was getting too busy, and the Aberdeen unit was looking to move. In November 1980 the unit moved to Leuchars, when it had four aircraft.

In 1981, because of the reduction of the Service generally, Aberdeen UAS was amalgamated with the resurrected St Andrews – now including the new Dundee University – University Air Squadron and then in 2003 was further amalgamated with the UAS serving the Edinburgh universities to form the current squadron East of Scotland UAS, now based at RAF Leuchars.
