No 5 Flying Boat Servicing Unit (10 Feb 1943 - Dec 1944)
Coastal Command Flying Instructors School (16 Jul - 29 Oct 1945)
RAF Alness was a World War II seaplane base established on the coast to the south of Alness, three miles west of Invergordon.
The station was reported to have been in use before the war, when it was known RAF Invergordon, but at that time would have consisted of little more than a slipway and mooring area for the aircraft, and was renamed RAF Alness on February 10, 1943.
