This is a fascinating essay written by Bob Brown from the Museum, and contains a lot of extra info 

BRIEF HISTORY OF TOCUMWAL AERODROME.





CONSTRUCTION.

19th February 1942 - Australia was under attack, with Japan launching the first of 64 air raids on Darwin. Invasion appeared imminent and before the arrival of the American Forces, we were virtually defenceless. It seemed that N-W Australia would have to be sacrificed. In an effort to concentrate our defences in the S-E of the continent, the Brisbane Line strategy was considered, a final defence line drawn between Brisbane and Melbourne. Tocumwal, being right on the Brisbane Line, was selected for a heavy bomber base for the United States Army Air Corps. So great was the emergency, there was no time to give land owners notice. Tocumwal property owners such as the Hawkins, Keough, Hearn, Batters and Thorburn were shocked to be given just 24 hours to vacate
and then see their properties immediately bulldozed. 2700 construction workers of the Allied Works Council began creating the huge airbase and working day and night, had a runway ready for first landings in 5 weeks. They commandeered farm tractors, trucks, horses, anything to frantically complete the task. Over an area of 5,200 acres, they built
4 runways up to 1,850 metres in length, 112 kms of roadways and taxiways, 6.4 kms of branch railway line to a new rail platform on the field, 7 giant hangars to house the big Liberator bombers, 600 other buildings for hangars, workshops, mess halls, sleeping quarters, administration and a 200 bed hospital. In just 16 weeks, after expenditure of A$6 million, they built, in Tocumwal, the largest aerodrome in the southern hemisphere.


AMERICAN OCCUPATION.

On completion of the aerodrome at the end of April 1942, the Americans poured in with all their aircraft and equipment. They named it “McIntyre Field” and established a huge supply and services base ready to back-up combat bases in the north of Australia, preparing for the then expected invasion of the mainland. The air was filled with their B17 Flying Fortresses, Kittyhawks, Airacobras, Vultee Vengeances, Dakotas and on the ground the streets were alive with convoys of military trucks, jeeps, motor-cycle despatch riders and squads of American personnel. Many of those personnel were welcomed into the homes of local residents where they were treated with a taste of home and family life and happily partnered the young ladies of the district to cinemas & dances. But then, on the 8th May 1942, virtually eight days after completion of the aerodrome, everything changed. The battle of the Coral Sea, for the first time, stopped Japan’s southward advance, and with further successes at Midway, Milne Bay and Kokoda, the threat of invasion steadily receded. The American General George C. Kenney commanding Allied Air Forces in the S-W Pacific Area looked at Tocumwal Aerodrome and said – “Mighty fine air base - just shift it 2,000 miles north closer to the enemy” ! Which is exactly what the Americans did, transferring to Queensland and building Garbutt Air Base at Townsville for the next stage of their advance towards Japan. For the remainder of the war, American units rotated through Tocumwal on special training courses in signals, navigation, bombing and gunnery, engine repair and maintenance, a total
of 7,000 American personnel, a major presence in Tocumwal.

AUSTRALIAN OCCUPATION Tocumwal Aerodrome had gone through a frantic construction stage one, a brief American occupation stage two, and in November 1942, it entered its main stage three, with the RAAF taking it over as a giant multi-function depot for aircraft repair and maintenance and training base for recruits, bomber aircrews and paratroopers.

All types of aircraft came in - battered planes from combat zones for urgent repair, new planes ferried in from overseas to be serviced, modified, armed and made fully operational.

54 of the big Liberator bombers were stationed at Tocumwal and they turned out new eleven man crews every eight weeks. Local residents watched the Liberators in mock battles with Kittyhawk fighters, or in gunnery practice with Vultee Vengeances towing drogue targets, and paratroopers jumping from Dakota aircraft. Accidents were inevitable and the Tocumwal Services Cemetery marks the graves of many young men and women who died in training. At its peak in 1944/45, there were 5,000 RAAF personnel on the base, including 400 WAAAF’s, these young girls fulfilling a vital role in the running of the air force. The impact upon the small township of Tocumwal was enormous - the shops and cafes and pubs were inundated. Church congregations swelled to capacity, romances led to weddings. There was entertainment in homes, cinemas and dance halls and cricket, football, tennis and swimming at our famous beaches were all popular forms of recreation. Touring entertainers gave concerts in the giant hangars, even Gracie Fields came to Tocumwal for a sell out performance.

The RAAF stayed at Tocumwal for 18 years, gradually reducing and closing down operations until the final lowering of the RAAF Ensign in October 1960, their departure, for a time,
leaving a huge void in Tocumwal.



RECOLLECTIONS OF THE WAR YEARS.

Standing quietly in the Tocumwal Services Cemetery is a headstone inscribed :-
“ NX49635 private e. f. johnson 56 infantry battalion 18th march 1943”
This peaceful grave is the ending of a wartime incident which was observed in all its horror by many Tocumwal residents who, even today, vividly recall seeing it unfold so many years ago. Paratrooper training was tough and unforgiving. Parachute jumps were made from Dakota aircraft over open country just n-e of the aerodrome. One day, local residents watched the string of paratroopers tumbling out of the open door of the aircraft, their parachutes blossoming in a long line of descent. But one trooper was caught - his parachute lines became entangled in the tail-plane of the aircraft – he was trapped in the buffeting slipstream of the propellers. The plane tried every manoeuvre to free him. Another plane, a Wirraway, went up to try and nudge him loose or drop him into the rear cockpit, but all without success. As the minutes ticked away, local people watched the drama, horrified to see the trooper tumbling and spinning as the plane kept circling. Then the pilot headed for Lake Mulwala to see if they could drop him safely into the water. The Dakota descended to about forty feet over the lake, slowed to almost stalling speed and the trooper released his harness. He was dead when they picked him up out of the water and he lies buried in the Tocumwal Services Cemetery,
Trooper Eric Johnson, 20 years of age.
The Services section is on the right-hand side at the cemetery entrance. Perhaps if you visit Tocumwal, you may pause for a minute, before the rows of graves and headstones of the young service men and women who came to Tocumwal in wartime, but never left.




DESTRUCTION

The aerodrome’s stage four was, in hindsight, a crime and a tragedy. After the war, hundreds
of aircraft came to Australia’s major aircraft depot in Tocumwal for disposal. The rows of aircraft, packed wingtip to wingtip, stretched as far as the eye could see, from one perimeter fence to the other. It seemed that no-one wanted these faithful machines that had served Australia so well. Tragically overlooking the historical significance of wartime aircraft,
the likes of which will never be seen again, over 700 of them were chopped up and smelted down into ingots of aluminium. Post-war, with everything in short supply, aluminium was a
much needed commodity. It was needed for pots and pans and also for the new Holden motor car coming into production. Liberators, Flying Fortresses, Kittyhawks, Vultee Vengeances, Beauforts, Beaufighters, Mustangs, Mosquitoes, Wirraways all went to the furnaces. Today, any one of these aircraft would be priceless. It’s easy to be wise after the event, but it’s beyond understanding that someone, somewhere did not have the foresight to save just a
few of these Australian treasures. Similarly, nearly all the 608 aerodrome buildings and
all the hospital buildings were sold and removed. After the war when building materials
were virtually unobtainable, the hangars, huts and workshops were snapped up by builders, giving no thought whatsoever to any historical value. One of the biggest hangars, a giant
igloo type, can be seen today in use by Cornish Fruit Growers at Cottons Road, Cobram,
and many of the huts, built in the shape of houses, form a section of the suburb of O’Connor
in Canberra where they are now heritage listed by the National Trust.
Tocumwal Aerodrome today, a testament to a tragedy of destruction.




TOCUMWAL HISTORIC AERODROME MUSEUM

Just a few years ago the Tocumwal Aerodrome did not have any recorded history.
This omission was identified by two Tocumwal young ladies who established the
TOCUMWAL HISTORIC AERODROME MUSEUM group and wrote to scores of ex RAAF personnel asking for any wartime material that they might still have. As a result, in came hundreds of old Box-Brownie snaps, faded and cracked and notes of memories of time spent at Tocumwal. These have been enlarged, reprinted and assembled into a remarkable photographic display now to be seen in the Museum section of the Tocumwal Information Centre.
A large scale Liberator bomber integrated with a giant Liberator mural, wartime model
aircraft, RAAF and WAAAF uniformed models and the memories captured in books and CDs,
all enhance the rich history of the aerodrome .
Several RAAF and WAAAF reunions have been held at the aerodrome and the heartfelt appreciation of the veterans makes the museum work all worthwhile. It seems appropriate
that we should acknowledge the determination and sacrifices of a remarkable generation of young people who saved our country for us. We would do well to preserve what little history Australia has and so ensure that the ideals & achievements of those earlier times are recorded
and displayed. The museum also benefits the district, because in today’s terms, the aerodrome is an asset, attracting some 3,000 visitors a year. A major attraction is the ¼ scale
Liberator bomber gate guardian at the entrance to the Tocumwal Golf Club, commemorating
the presence of this once mighty aircraft in the small country town of Tocumwal.



DOES TRAGEDY LOOM ONCE AGAIN?

Sportavia Gliding has left Tocumwal. Brought here some 40 years ago by Mr. Bill Riley, breathing new life into a small country town, the Sportavia Hangar no longer hums with the activity of aircraft, gliders, workshops, flying instructors, Australian and international visitors enjoying the social atmosphere of the accommodation, the bar, dining room and swimming pool. The section previously occupied by the Historic Aerodrome Museum is now silent, no longer providing a welcoming greeting to the stream of visitors who come to the hangar seeking its history. Is this historic building, which has been such a major asset to Tocumwal, to follow
its three predecessors into decay and destruction? With an absent and non-occupying owner,
the level of maintenance will inevitably decline, putting the wartime structure at serious risk.
The large Tocumwal hangars, 100mx50m, are significant historical buildings, being the largest clear-span timber buildings in Australia. They introduced a unique structural technology, employing shear connectors and steel plate joints , enabling the innovative use of green Australian hardwoods in their urgent wartime construction in 1942.
The bitterly regretted tragedy of destruction which was enacted in the post-war years and saw
the loss of hundreds of aircraft and aerodrome buildings, should not and cannot be allowed to happen again. Since then, the people of Australia have come to value their history, to recognise and acknowledge the sacrifices of our service men and women and to try to not repeat the mistakes of the past. If the older generation is to pass on the realities of the past to the younger generations, then it must preserve the important icons of the conflicts which our
country faced and overcame. The remaining Tocumwal Hangars are just such icons.


A MYSTERY SOLVED !

During the 1942 occupation of Tocumwal Aerodrome by the US Army Air Corps,
the Americans named it “McIntyre Field”.
Over the years since the Museum opened, scores of enquiries have been made as to
why the Americans so named it.
The generally accepted theory was that it was named after Flight Lieutenant Ivor McIntyre, Royal Australian Air Force, who in 1924 with Wing Commander S. J. Goble, first circumnavigated Australia in a flight which took 43 days to complete.
Whilst this was certainly a most historic flight for Australians, it seemed unlikely that
the Americans would recognise it for one of their own airfields. Despite extensive searching of records, no link could be found between the RAAF Flt.Lt. Ivor McIntyre
and the American “McIntyre Field” at Tocumwal.
Then, from a contact with the American Air Force Historical Research Agency, at Maxwell
Air Force Base, Alabama, U.S.A., the following official document was discovered:-

Good to see this website up & running, & the interesting information given.
Perhaps in time this website could be expanded with links to the various online resources, & further informations concerning Captain Patrick William McIntyre, & the airbase itself.

Very well put together.
Our family spent most weekend at Tocumwal Airport, Gliding.
Bill Riley took pride in that place. It is such a shame to see it go.

Excellent information. Visited your museum several months ago. I too have several photos taken at 7otu with Dad (Edward Rowse)taken with another airman ( Abacair)in front of the base blitz buggies. My dad (still alive!) knows a lot about the day and night of the burning of the mess hall with the subsequent result that the base got army cooks asap....the airforce cooks were totally useless and this resulted in many altercations about the food quality...the mess hall burning being one of them. Dad was a liberator aircraft fitter and I believe i still have a compass out of a Lib life raft here at home!My dad mentioned the sabotage incident and was a ambo-driver when a Liberator landed and crashed!

As an 11 year-old wireless fanatic in 1954, I used to roam around Tocumwal trying to find radio gear when the MPs were not looking. The Hughes Trading Co. from Wagga had a large blast furnace running 6 days a week, which melted the aluminium into ingots about 3 feet by 6 inches by 6 inches. The wooden aircraft, such as Mosquitoes, were burnt where they stood after engines and equipment were removed. By 1960, all that was left were some 77Sqn Mustangs and Meteors, and a single B29. The Mustangs and Meteors were for sale ( 100 to 600 pounds each), and on the railway siding was a crated RR Nene engine. In 1963, when I did an instructor rating with the aero club, we found a pit full of 50 cal. machine guns, as well as lots of other interesting bits and pieces.

Great artical thankyou.our father Flight Sargent Rex V Beckman worked on the large liberators for the duration of the war.He volunteered for service Snowtown aged 22. As a family we grew up with his mates Norm Jordan Shepparton.I had the privlegde of a personal tour of the base before it was a golf club and museum. Maps photos copies of were sent back to south australia for dad and the then owner Geoff kept intouch.Dad passed away 2002 but his memory is stil in the remaining hanger at Toc.He was a mechanic and kept the large bombers in the war like many dedicated men that volunteered for service to protect our country.His work ethic was above reproach like many others, up unitl his death. This is a very important part of history and should be preserved for the future.

I spent a few years at McIntyre field flying ultralights with my good friend Andrew Broadway who founded Tocumwal Ultralight Aviation on the mid 90s. I have very fond memories of the field, of Andrew who was tragically killed on the field in a gyrocopter crash on Feb 19 1994. I recall many great days of flying, followed by a few beer at the bar and on occasions slept in the bunkhouse on the field to be on deck at dawn for first flight. Good times. I'm inspired by this page to revisit Tocumwal soon and check in on my fond memories of McIntyre Field. Thanks for putting up this page

Great site.
I can recall in the days of black and white television there was a short piece that ran during the Bob Dyer show on Channel Nine on aircraft scrapping at Tocumwal.
I'm certain it was basically a BP ad...saying how they provided the fuel for the furnaces. As I recall, many shots of aircraft being axed and fed into the furnaces....maybe a bit tough to view now but of historical significance..Best regards

What a great write up and needs more. As an ex serving member 10 years with the Navy (engineering) and a pilot fixed wing 35 years , helicopter 15 years this aerodrome needs much more promoting.
I have purchased land here in the airpark as my daughter lives in Tocumwal and what a shame very few in the aviation arena have knowledge of this aerodromes history.
Berrimah shire have started the promoting of history but it needs much more.

When I was stationed in the Armament Section at 1AD Laverton a team of fellow armourers was sent to 7AD Tocumwal in December 1951 to dismantle machine guns from the aircraft remaining there.
These bods didn't have much to tell me about the aerodrome except that it was very big and motor transport was used to get to the work site. This brief description did not excite any curiosity in me and I never heard anything more about this station.
Now, as I'm getting on in years and have time for some interest in what went on during the war years so that when my daughter Cathlien (who is back-packing around Australia) said she was in Cobram I told her to hop-over to Tocumwal and have a look at the old station.
She told me she was very impressed by her visit to the Museum and sent me a copy of "RAAF No 7 OTU Tocumwal" by J.A. Lever.
At this point I am curious to know why the author waited until 1996 to compile this revealing story of thoughtless destruction of historic aircraft, ingeniously laid out sleeping quarters and unique hanger construction, all to the detriment of local tourism.
Thanks for reading me out.

In 1943 the magazine Building and Engineering had an article about the construction of a munitions factory but did not say where it was and four state instrumentalities and a municipal authority cooperating, under the direction of the superintending engineer, a 40 year old, dynamic Cyril Hudspeth, to build the project.

He was called to Melbourne for what he anticipated would be a well-earned rest after completing another gigantic Allied Council project, Mr. Hudspeth was told of the difficult problem facing the designers of the buildings composing part of the project and given the job of finding a solution. After two weeks he succeeded. Then he was told to proceed to the site chosen for the plant and build the whole undertaking. Gathering around him a team of experts, he “went to it.’ The results are daily taking shape in the maze of structural work now intermingled with a number of trees. It might have been the munitions factory which was at Tocumwal on the New South Wales Victorian border or Maribyrnong in Victoria or at Elizabeth in South Australia, but the article doesn’t say where the site was.

However I have a textbook on timber engineering with his name in it and he was resident engineer in Tocumwal so I think it was that site.

The name "Tocumwal" is an honoured one here in Canberra.

Many of the houses on the base were transferred to an expanding Canberra after the war:
https://www.allhomes.com.au/news/the-history-of-canberras-iconic-tocumwal-houses-849591/
"After the war, more than 200 of these huts were dismantled and transported by road to Canberra for re-erection in the ‘greatest mass movement of houses in the Commonwealth’s history’."

And are properly considered - now - as part of our heritage:

Lived on base 1947 when father F/L Vin Geddes was CO of possibly a dozen or 20 airmen, but wall-to-wall ordinace. Initially lived in the hospital and played in the cool of the cinema opposite. Moved to a house near officers' mess where I discovered billiards. Rode bike out to hangars and climbed through Libs. Tail gunner turret best while batteries lasted. Released dinghy from wing and feasted on rock hard chocolate and concentrated orange juice. Super nylon fishing gear. Verey pistol, flares. Red back spiders fearful. And bindi eyes & magpies

Many vivid memories of sneaking out to the airfield and playing in all theOld bombers and fighters , finding the old shells and machine gun parts in the small water dams, at the time it was a child’s dream although we were forbidden to go out there. Ended up knowing the base (what was left of it) like the back of your hand. Late 1950s. The massive hangers were used to store grain, A recent visit noticed a couple of hangers still standing.
A great little town to grow up in with so much freedom.

My dad trained at the Tocumwal base especially on Liberators and was posted to an obscure base on loan to the USAF in the north of the NT. He served out his period with the US force and just prior to his passing he related to me a story about a Liberator returning from a mission well overdue and short landing at the blacked out base. Because he was on loan to the US force his return to the RAAF force was never recorded and despite actually qualifying for A DVA pension he was rejected as no confirming records of his involvement in a zone of conflict existed. He rarely spoke about his time in the service but he was proud to have served for his country.

That NT airfield may have been Fenton Airfield (abandoned after 1945), as there is a photo of Liberators on the Wiki site - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton_Airfield.

Or perhaps Carson's Field - now Tindal RAAF base

Born in Tocumwal 18 Nov 1942, my earliest memories are of the bustling thriving town of Tocumwal, the excitement of the arrival of the train from Melbourne each after noon, the regional energy from the farmers, and the 1000s of ex WW2 planes parked on our and surrounding properties. My cousins and I used to climb in them and play fighter pilots like Biggles and Ginger from the popular radio program of the day. Wonderful to see the new aerodrome museum and the history preserved.

I remember watching "houses cut in half" (kids description) on the back of trucks, moving down Hennessy Street, presumably on their way to Canberra. Possibly between 1955 - 1958. I also remember, kids coming to both primary schools in town by bus.

If an Aircraft woman was discharged at Tocumwal on 18 December 1945 and her husband discharged there on 26 January 1946, would she have left the base in December or would she have stayed until the January. Were there married quarters on the base?

As I mentioned several years ago, we in Canberra value our Tocumwal Houses.. They have been heritage-listed for 30 years now.
"During the 1990s the ACT Government recognised the heritage significance of the houses and their precinct; the subdivision pattern, the cul-de-sac layout and streetscapes and the reserve. In 1997 the precinct was included in the ACT Heritage Places Register.

The Tocumwal Archive project was initiated as a response to the heritage classification; the project was initiated by Mary Hutchison and developed with photographer, Katherine Pepper, with administrative and equipment support from Photo Access and funding from the ACT Government Heritage Council Grants Programs of 1996 and 1997. At the time of the project both Mary and Katherine were living in the precinct."
