RAF Forres

Royal Air Force Forres or more simply RAF Forres is a former Royal Air Force satellite station located between Mundole Estate and Forres, Moray, Scotland. The station was controlled by RAF Lossiemouth.

RAF Forres also had a training strip located between the River Findhorn and Mundole Estate. The training strip is still visible from satellite imagery, and a hangar from the original strip still remains standing.
