Former Point Cook RAAF Base
Victorian Heritage Database place details - 28/9/2021 Former Point Cook RAAF Base Location: Point Cook Road,, POINT COOK VIC 3030 - Property No B5572 Heritage Inventory (HI) Number: Listing Authority: HI Extent of Registration: 1 Statement of Significance: The former Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) base at Point Cook, near Werribee, Victoria, is Australia's oldest operational airfield and one of few pre-WW2 airfields in Australia. As part of its history Point Cook has long been recognised as the birthplace of Australian military aviation (1913), and subsequently of the RAAF (1921). Point Cook was the place where many later personalities in both our military and civil aviation fields first learned to fly, where a number of historic flights in the 1920s began, and where civil aviation itself underwent much of its earliest development. As a national icon, RAAF Point Cook's significance is unequalled. The classification includes all parts of the airbase associated with its RAAF aviation history, including post WW2 development such as the chapel with its aircraft motifs, and c.1960s buildings. This former RAAF Point Cook Air Base, including the airfield and runways, in being recognised as the birthplace of the Royal Australian Air Force and perhaps the oldest and certainly most intact, longest serving military airfield in the world, is of historic, architectural, scientific/technical and social significance at the national and international levels. Architectural: Australia's earliest military aviation buildings located at Point Cook are amongst the world's oldest of this type. The significance of the early Point Cook architecture is reflected in its strong influence on later RAAF buildings in other parts of Australia, which virtually replicate Point Cook's building types. -
TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter
TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter No. 104 December 2019 Editor: John Wren President’s Report We should find out about the plans for QF’s 100th birthday celebrations in early 2020 [the actual birthday is in November 2020 but they are using the whole year to maximise the exposure]. We are hopeful that the TAA Museum will be able to participate with a special display of QF historical material and memorabilia. More later. The Tour Groups to the Museum have just started to slow down ahead of our closure for the festive season. Thursday pm the 5th December is our last day for 2019 – open again on Tuesday 4th February. We welcome Geoff and Vicki Kerton to the Museum as Volunteers. Just a friendly reminder if you are having a clean up at home, or downsizing, we will look after your donations of TAA and Australian Airlines memorabilia at the Museum. It would be a shame to have the family throw it out. The Museum has upgraded all its computers to Windows 10 as Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft from early January. You might look at your own situation at home. An Age [24/10/19] review of Hawaiian Airlines concluded with “native birdsong plays on entry and exit, and traditional Hawaiian music as your coming in to land. This airline is also lucky – in 1941 one of the airlines old eight seater Sikorsky’s was hit by Japanese fire at Pearl Harbour, which set an engine alight. Another stray bullet, however, hit a fire extinguisher, which put out the blaze! Well, it’s another year gone with 2020 just around the corner. -

We have seen the provisional end of year results which are now being audited and put in to the usual annual report. While an overall loss is indicated there have been a number of high expenditure items this year but that sets us up for the next 10+ years. I will make further comment when the full report is out. The club is still in a healthy position and keeps it’s good name out there as was evidenced by the complimentary comments from recent air show participants. -
Himalayan Expedition to Study Goitre
About three-quarters of all facilities are under the safeguards system, and agree ments which USA has with Colombia, Costa Rica and Venezuela may be added. It is clear that all Latin American countries are well aware of many of the ways in which atomic energy can assist in development, and that its role in the region will expand rapidly. HIMALAYAN EXPEDITION TO STUDY GOITRE A New Zealand team carried radioisotopes and equipment when scaling the Himalayas on an expedition of mercy. Besides helping to build a hospital, they studied the serious results in the area resulting from the prevalence of goitre in an effort to bring relief to the mountain- dwelling Sherpas. In one village nearly every inhabitant was suffering from thyroid disorder. Leading the expedition was Sir Edmund Hillary, who not only gained world fame as the first conqueror of Everest but formed a lasting friendship with the Sherpas whose assistance was valuable in that feat. He had determined to return in order to help establish a hospital for them and in October last year was able to carry out the difficult project, thanks to generous voluntary contributions from the people of New Zealand. They had already helped him to set up some schools. With him on his return was a medical research group headed by Dr. H.K. Ibbertson, of Auckland Hospital, New Zealand. Under a research contract placed by the Agency at a cost of $15 500, supported by a grant of £3000 ($8400) from the Wellcome Trust of London, they flew from New Zealand and dien, with the help of sturdy native porters, man-handled their heavy equip- men up the steep slopes.
