671st NAS

The 671st Naval Air Squadron (NAS) was a Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm unit formed during World War II. Established in 1944, it specialized in glider operations and training, primarily based in India as part of the British efforts in the Southeast Asian theater. The squadron played a crucial role in preparing for airborne assaults, including potential operations in Burma, by training personnel in the use of military gliders like the Waco Hadrian. The 671st NAS was disbanded in November 1945 following the end of the war and the reduced need for glider-borne operations.
