If the RAAF opened PC upto GA and allowed usage of the old Bellman hangars on the southern end of the field it would be great.
I get the impression the previous private contractor managing YMPC was a bit paranoid and sometimes over-regulated things a bit. The RAAF guys managing it now are more approachable and sensible.
It's interesting to see the RAAF guys in action managing an airfield. I guess they have to have the resources in place to possibly setup airfields overseas in the event of conflict, and maybe they use PC to practise this. A couple of times I've asked questions and the RAAF people have come straight back with simple and straight answers.
There is an enormous amount of history at PC. Recently I even saw a photo an an ME262 parked there after WW11.
There are people here who criticise Julia Gillard, but a few years ago when she was both PM and the local House of Representatives Member for the area that included YMPC she stopped the airfield being redeveloped into a new suburb.
