RAAF Pearce. The threshold of 23 used to be closer to the Great Northern Highway, and there was a storm drain where we keen lads could watch the aircraft landing over the top of us. The taxiway leading to 36 had the bush coming very close to it, and we could sit there and watch the aircraft going past, until a Landrover (crash one I presume) came and told us to b**ger off, at which point we'd move a few hundred yards down. This was of course early sixties, and a lot has changed since then.
