Aviation Photography RAF 100 Squadron Aviation Photography RAF 100 Squadron In utilising the Hawk, 100 Squadron provides a very cost effective range of services, such as providing radar blips for the School of fighter Control practice intercepts. Their main task however is to provide operational support for the OCU's and frontline squadrons and principally those flying the Typhoon and Tornado F.3. They can be employed to simulate 'mud-movers' for air defenders to 'bounce' and as aggressors for helicopters and transport aircraft conducting fighter evasion exercises. 100 Squadron provide Dissimilar Air Combat Training (DACT) when requested.

Additionally the Squadron will be utilised during the final phase of the Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) training for those selected for the Tornado GR.4 and F.3. Support is also provided for the Joint Forward Air Control Training and Support Unit (JFACTSU) Close Air Support (CAS) missions.

Students who have successfully completed the Advanced Fast Jet Dominie Module (AFJDM) with 55(Reserve) Squadron will transfer to the Navigational Training Unit at 100 Squadron based at RAF Leeming for 35 hours on the Hawk T.1. The main training requirements are for Navigators and Fighter Controllers.

In September 2021 the final students to pass their Advance Fast Jet Training (AFJT) on the Hawk T.1 jet graduated from 100 Squadron and will start their Operational Conversion to the Typhoon FGR.4 in October. This marks the end of training on the Hawk T.1 which first entered service in 1976. Although most flying training has been delivered using the Hawk T.2 at RAF Valley since 2016, in In January 2019, it was announced that 100 Squadron would take on an additional training role.
