I don't recall seeing 'corporal stripes on the runway during my RAAF training days' (some 50+ years ago now). They were not used at NAS Nowra from 1969 until at least mid 1974. Perhaps some old runway photos may show them in the RAAF bygone era? By GOSH by GOLLEE a Wal Nelowkin photo of Point Cook in 1972. LAVERTON just north of Point Cook had the stripes in 1965, also a WALLY photo. What a nice chap indeed.
Photo later shows the stripes still there in the 1990s.... FROM:
