These duties are undertaken by experienced pilots who did not successfully complete operational conversion training , and also by new pilots who have completed training with No. 76 Squadron and been posted back to No. 79 Squadron until a place becomes available in an operational conversion course . No. 76 Squadron has a similar Operations Flight .
