History

7 Flt AAC Gazelle over Brandenburg Gate in 1983 over Berlin, Germany.

The flight was originally formed as No. 7 Recce Flight Army Air Corps in 1957; 67 years ago (1957), at what was then known as Malaya, and was part of 656 Squadron AAC.[2] On 24 December 1962, 7 Recce Flight AAC then moved Brunei Darussalam on the island of Borneo, and remained there until 31 December 1966, when it was disbanded.[2]

No. 7 Flight Army Air Corps was re-formed in 1970; 54 years ago (1970), at RAF Gatow in Berlin, where it operated Bell Sioux AH.1, and from 1977 until 1994, Westland Gazelle AH.1 helicopters.[2] It was part of the Berlin Infantry Brigade.[2] It was disbanded October 1994,[2] and then returning to Borneo, it reformed on 1 November 1994 at Seria in Brunei Darussalam, where it supported the resident infantry battalion from the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Training Team Brunei (TTB), which runs jungle warfare training courses.[2][3] The flight used Bell 212 AH1 and AH3 light helicopters.[2][3]

On 1 August 2021; 2 years ago (2021-08-01), the flight was expanded and raised to squadron size, and consequently re-designated as No. 667 Squadron AAC.[3]
