No. 652 Squadron AAC is a squadron of the British Army's Army Air Corps (AAC).
During the Cold War the squadron was part of No. 2 Regiment AAC (along with 662 Sqn), the two squadrons were at different locations, 662 Sqn were at Münster, and 652 were at Bünde. About 1984, as a result of changing the structure of AAC Regiments, 2 Regiment disbanded with 652 Sqn becoming part of 1 Regiment AAC at Hildesheim, Germany - each regiment now consisting of three squadrons and a HQ Troop. Sometime after 1990 1 Regiment moved to Gutersloh, Germany.
The unit converted to the AgustaWestland Wildcat AH.1 and moved to RNAS Yeovilton becoming the Wildcat Fielding Squadron, training aircews.
The unit took part in Exercise Wildcat Zenith during March 2015.
