In 2006, the Special Forces Support Group was raised at St Athan and the Welsh Guards returned to London. The station was renamed as Ministry of Defence St Athan (MOD St Athan). A large swathe of land was acquired by the Welsh Government and commercial aircraft companies such as ATC Lasham started to operate from buildings such as the former VC10 hangars. DARA steadily drew down their "Fast Jet" and "Engines" operations, closing both by April 2007; the "Large Aircraft" business continued as part of the Defence Support Group (DSG) until its closure in 2012.
