Thanks guys, I'm glad you all enjoyed the pics. Our day trip ended with a detour to a small town called Lowood. During the war the airfield here was occupied by several RAAF Vengeance squadrons before and after deployment to New Guinea. RAAF Anson and Beaufort squadrons also flew many anti-sub patrols from this base. In early 1942 Lowood was also home to the American 80th FS equipped with P-39's, AA protection was also provided by an American Artillery Battalion.
Unfortunately little remains of the airfield today, however the site isremembered with a simple marker.
