705 Naval Air Squadron (705 NAS), sometimes referred to as 705 Squadron, is a Fleet Air Arm (FAA) naval air squadron of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy (RN). Based at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire, it forms part of No. 1 Flying Training School and provides helicopter flying training to pilots and aircrew of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force. The squadron currently operates the Juno HT1 and forms part of 2 Maritime Air Wing. The squadron was formed as a flight in 1936 from No. 447 Flight RAF, operating Fairey Swordfish aircraft from Royal Navy battlecruisers. It became a squadron in 1939 and served during the Second World War before being disbanded in 1940. Re-formed in 1945 and again in 1947, it became involved in the evaluation of helicopters for naval use and subsequently developed a role in Royal Navy helicopter flying training. The squadron moved to RNAS Culdrose in 1957 and operated a succession of helicopters, including the Westland Dragonfly, Hiller HT-1, Sikorsky S-55, Westland Whirlwind and Westland Gazelle. Between 1975 and 1992, its instructors also formed the Sharks helicopter display team. In April 1997, 705 NAS moved to RAF Shawbury as part of the Defence Helicopter Flying School (DHFS), where it operated the Squirrel and provided advanced single-engine rotary-wing training within the tri-service helicopter training system. In 2018, the squadron transitioned to the UK Military Flying Training System and the Juno HT1. It subsequently became part of No. 1 Flying Training School and continues to provide joint helicopter training while retaining a Royal Navy identity and naval training focus.
