The squadron operations include coastal reconnaissance, command and control and radio relay in crime prevention operations in co-operation with the South African Police and Army. The squadron is based at AFB Durban. These reserve squadrons are used to fill a pilot and aircraft gap within the SAAF by making use of civilian pilots and their privately owned aircraft. Most flying takes place over weekends and because pilots have a good knowledge of the local terrain in the area where they live and commonly fly, the squadron is mostly used in a crime prevention role.South African Air Force (unofficial) http://www.saairforce.co.za/recruitment/reservesqn Air Force Reserve Squadrons References Category:Squadrons of the South African Air Force Category:Military units and formations in Durban Category:Territorial Reserve Squadrons of the South African Air Force
