700(W)sq has been commissioned in May 2009 as the Wildcat fielding and conversion squadron.
Both 702sq and 815sq use various sub marks of the Lynx HAS3 and HMA8 versions.
Possibly 815sq/B Section will be reflagged to 809sq in 2010. It will then become the second Fleet Air Arm Wildcat squadron, after 700(W)sq.
The codes of the Lynx helicopters assigned to 815sq/Ships Flight often are allocated deck landing codes belonging to the ships.
The NFSF(FW) operates with two to three Hawk jets on loan from FRADU (RNAS Culdrose).

The Lynx HAS3/HMA8 fleet will be replaced by the Wildcat. The naval prototype of this helicopter performed its maiden flight end 2010.
