Tocumwal Aerodrome

History

The Tocumwal Aerodrome played a very important role late in WW2 as a US base, when it was known as McIntyre Field. It went on to be a RAAF base, closing down operations in October 1960. The 60^th Anniversary of the lowering of the RAAF Ensign was recognised in October 2020. Whilst much of the WW2 infrastructure has disappeared a lot of the history has been collected and will soon be on display again at the new Tocumwal Aviation Museum. There is a very comprehensive website that tells the history in detail. www.tham.org.au
