Yes it is Bundaberg Terry, over to you....

Does anyone know the history of Building 161 at Bundaberg? It's an impressive timber framed hangar with adjoining workshops, the locals are adamant it was "constructed by the Americans". While the structure is similar to other US-built hangars in Queensland that I've seen, the RAAF occupied Bundaberg in early 1941 and started building a plethora of Bellman hangars then, so why would the Americans have built this?



My attendance at Langley Park was nowhere near as impressive an effort as yours - having jetted in from overseas, I flew a friend's Cessna 180 from Jandaklot (virtually the shortest distance possible). The Danish AF marked Chippie belongs to another friend.
