Hi dont overfil,

What super pictures of the aerodrome today!

In the one looking south-west towards Perth, there's a collection of trees in the middle distance. I reckon just this side of them was the location of a stud farm for cattle in 1966. From time to time the bull used to make a heck of a racket, and one wondered what might be setting him off...

Much of the east view towards the apron, hangars, etc., looks more familiar than I expected. That blue-and-white building attached to the hangar was only the flight office and school admin office in our day, I think, the club social areas being in the Tower building. No paved runways then, of course, but the grass taxiways leading to the grass holding points were accessed via paved spokes leading to what could be likened to a part of the rim of a wheel. Looks to be late afternoon after a "RESHRA"?

Hello sandym,

You started young, and what a variety of types... Safe landings, Sir!
