It was part of the Berlin Infantry Brigade.[2] It was disbanded in 1994 and then reformed in 1 November 1994 at Seria in Brunei 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] The flight used Bell 212 AH1 light helicopters.[2]
