The Northolt aircraft were originally based at RAF Bovingdon near Watford in Hertfordshire with the Southern Communications Squadron until the 'SCS' moved to Northolt and became 207sqn on 4th February 1969.
Another squadron, the Northern Communications Squadron, operated Bassets from RAF Topcliffe near Thirsk in North Yorkshire, later becoming 26sqn at RAF Wyton.
