I lived just over the hill towards Bankstown in the 60s and early 70s Our place adjoined the RAAF land where the bunker was. As a pre teenager I wandered all over the place airside and around hangars, no one ever raised an eyebrow
Ahh for the good old days.
I did my first ever joy flight about 1967 in a C172 at Marshalls. I remember the Dove in the hangar an also if I remember rightly there was a Beech 18 there for quite a while as well as some strange little low wing single seater open cockpit aircraft that we were allowed to sit in and pretend to fly. Too bad it would be another nearly 30 years before I would start my aviation career.
Who remembers the canteen just across the road in the old WW2 timber building that sold the best meat pies ever?
