1701 Naval Air Squadron (1701 NAS) was a Naval Air Squadron of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm (FAA). It was formed in February 1945 at HMS Daedalus, RNAS Lee-on-Solent, as an amphibian bomber reconnaissance squadron.[2] It was equipped with Supermarine Sea Otter, and the squadron joined HMS Begum in April 1945 bound for the Far East.[2] The squadron was intended to join the newly established Mobile Naval Air Bases for Air Sea Rescue duties. 'B' Flight joined MONAB IV (HMS Nabaron) at RNAS Ponam in the Admiralty Islands in May 1945 and embarked in HMS Reaper in October 1945. 'A' Flight joined MONAB VI (HMS Nabstock) at RNAS Maryborough, Queensland, Australia in June 1945.[2] The flights re-grouped in the Autumn of 1945 at HMS Nabcatcher, RNAS Kai Tak, Hong Kong, where it disbanded during August 1946.
