Not RAAF. It is a naval airfield. It is not located in the United States.

No problem Bri. I was going on what appears to be Chance Vought Corsairs in your photographs and the USN involvement in the Korean War.

The airfield was involved to a degree by the Korean Conflict.

I completely missed the Australia Day reference.

Here are a couple of photos of an airfield near where I used to live, although taken a bit before my time:

Well done, SD. BNE it is. This piece of the airfield is no longer in use. The new terminals and runways built in the 80s are further east.

Thank you India Four Two. The squadron markings gave me a good lead!
The photograph must have been taken in early Spring'44, as shortly afterwards they deployed to Saidor, New Guinea.
Give my regards to the Rex Hotel when next in Saigon/Ho Chi Min City .
