It initially formed in April 1940, at HMS <i>Daedalus</i>, RNAS Lee-on-Solent, as an <b>Advance Seaplane Training Squadron</b>. The Squadron moved to RAF Pembroke Dock in July 1940, and later to HMS <i>Daedalus</i> II, RNAS Lawrenny Ferry in October 1941 and remaining there until the Squadron disbanded in November 1943. It reformed at HMS <i>Siskin</i>, RNAS Gosport, in February 1944, as the <b>User Trials Unit</b>, however, the squadron was decommissioned for the second time in September 1945. 764 Naval Air Squadron reformed again, at HMS <i>Fulmar</i>, RNAS Lossiemouth, in May 1953, where it became an <b>Advanced Training Unit</b>. It moved to HMS <i>Heron</i>, RNAS Yeovilton, in September 1953, where it received its first jet aircraft. In November 1954 the Squadron disbanded. </p><p>It reformed in February 1955, at HMS <i>Peregrine</i>, RNAS Ford, as a <b>Fighter Pilot Holding Unit</b> and equipped exclusively with jets. However, starting in the May, the squadron also provided Westland Wyvern aircraft type conversion for the next couple of years. In June 1957, 764 Naval Air Squadron moved to HMS <i>Fulmar</i>, RNAS Lossiemouth, utilising its satellite airfield, HMS <i>Fulmar</i> II, RNAS Milltown, and with it a change to multiple training roles: <b>Air Weapons Training, Commanding Officers and Senior Pilots Designate Course</b>, a <b>Jet Fighter Pool</b> and a <b>Target Towing Unit</b>. With Hawker Hunter aircraft arriving in December 1958, the squadrons primary duty was <b>Air Warfare Instructor</b> training. It also undertook swept wing conversion to the Hawker Hunter. From March to November 1965 a ‘B’ flight was formed at HMS <i>Fulmar</i>, to train Airwork Limited pilots to fly Supermarine Scimitar aircraft.
