I remember attending the school that was .5 mile final to RW 25 in the 1960s . October 1960 a RAAF C130 arrived which was the first we had seen . Following years saw visits from several of those and USAF C124s, which I found out later carried equipment to Woomera.
Woodford was not a busy airfield but the movements were unusual or very loud, Vulcan departures stopped work at school for 30 secs as they thundered overhead.
