nittenman Posted 3 February , 2007 Share Posted 3 February , 2007 According to Philip Birtles 'WW2 airfields' it opened in May 1941 with 460 (RAAF) with Wellingtons until January 1942. There is no mention of 17-18 useage in the book Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
