The cigar goes to India Four Two! It is Darwin/Civil (sometimes referred to as Darwin/Parap), closed in the late 1940's. This was the original airfield at Darwin until the RAAF built Darwin/Winnellie (which is the current Darwin) just to the east. It was home to no less than three RAF (not RAAF) Spitfire squadrons in 1945!

Ross Smith Avenue is built over the longer runway, while the hangar survived into the 1970's.

India Four Ttwo has declared Open House....
