Signals Command was the RAF's command responsible for control of signals units from 1958 to 1969. It was based at RAF Medmenham near Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

History

The Command was formed on 3 November 1958 by raising No. 90 Group to Command status.[1] It was a relatively short-lived Command, lasting only until 1 January 1969, when it was absorbed by Strike Command by being reduced to group status.[1] It had five Air Officers Commanding during its existence.
