Can any of our Australian members identify this base and what purpose it served during World War 2?

David,
That is probably Truscott airfield that you are referring to on the north coast of Australia, a number of CMP Blitz trucks there. I have heard stories of this from some who have been to the site as well as seeing it on video or TV a long time back.
