Scope and Content Inverness, Highland Luftwaffe aerial photograph of Inverness, taken during World War II. A high-altitude view of Inverness. Though classed as a seaplane base, flying-boat operations were never developed at Longman airfield, which was used by Highland Airways from 1933 to 1941, then by the RAF until 1947. It is now an industrial estate. The German Luftwaffe took aerial photographs of parts of Scotland throughout World War II. The photographs were used for intelligence work, such as selecting targets, assessing bombing accuracy and finding equipment and defensive positions. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
