Looks like Badgery's Creek, is that where they were talking of building the new Sydney airport? I think it was once the site of a astronomy telescope. Incidentally, on Live Earth, the Canberra is no longer there, I think their picures are more up to date.

But what was the place in WW2, and who used it? And where's the Canberra bomber gone? I wouldn't have thought it airworthy! |

Tony, ...........was it the Fleurs field station for the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation? Using Microsoft Live Earth, which seems to be newer images, the Canberra and adjacent buildings are gone and at the NW end of the "runway" (at least it looks like it could have been), there are not so many buildings there either. Probably trucked the plane out.

Hmmm, you've been Googling, methinks.
Yes, at one time it was the Fleur field site for the CSIRO Radioastronomy program, but BEFORE THAT, in WW2, it was Fleur Airbase. This was the parent airfield for the US Navy Fleet Air Arm, which also controlled 5 other minor "Satellite" strips. It is believed that this base was the point from which the only sucessful Air Raid on the Lithgow Small Arms Factory was launched. The Americans quite embarassed the AA defences, but it did prove Naval Aviators had the navigational skill to cross the featureless mountains, which was believed at the time to be a significant natural defence from Air Attack. |

Actually I did not find any reference to an airstrip, but thanks for the link. What was the Canberra doing there?

On Regional Highway 2, South of Peterborough and East of Oshawa, looks like a yard full of rusty CMP's. Is there a story to tell?

This is Elliotts Auto Parts near Newtonville where most of Dirk Leegwaters Canadian sourced CMPs came from. I think someone posted pictures of this yard on the forum earlier this year.

Esteemed Obergruppenführer, perhaps the thread would be more appropriately titled: The Constance Babington-Smith Interpretation Society. R. |
