Laurie Crowley and his sons erected a Bellman on their property, Victoria Park, which is South of Temora. They stretched it out to 270 feet in length. It was one of the, at least 13 Bellmans, that had previously stood on RAAF Uranquinty. These were auctioned off late in 1963 or early '64.
Although the Crowley family have now sold the property, it can be seen on Google Earth. Using the measuring tool, it is 16.07NM 183.6 degrees from the Temora Aero Club! A few years back, a tornado tore a large chunk out of the roof at the Northern end and twisted the heavy Bellman trusses. Light aircraft parked inside the Southern end were not disturbed!
