202 Squadron's origins started with the formation of No. 2 Squadron Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) at Eastchurch on 17 October 1914. and was renumbered No. 202 Squadron on 1 April 1918.
Supermarine Scapas, the Squadron's first flying boats, continuing to fly patrols over the Mediterranean Sea throughout the 1930s, with Supermarine Scapa from May 1935 and these were replaced in September 1937 with Saro Londons which were flown on anti-submarine patrols.
During the Second World War, 202 Squadron flew anti-submarine patrols from RAF Gibraltar with Saro London, Consolidated Catalina and Short Sunderland flying boats and some Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers until 1944, when it moved with their Catalinas to RAF Castle Archdale, Northern Ireland, disbanding there on 12 June 1945
