In 1978 RAF Boulmer took on an additional role as a search and rescue station following the closure of RAF Acklington, a role that it fulfilled until 30 September 2015. Initially the station was equipped with Westland Whirlwind helicopters, operated by 202 Squadron; however, in December 1978 the station was re-equipped with Westland Sea King aircraft until retired from service in 2015 and replaced by civilian operated helicopters, though non are operated from RAF Boulmer, which continues its role as a critical component of the RAF Battlespace Management Force and home to the Air Surveillance and Control System (ASACS).
