RAAF Guildford Aerodrome 1946

[Stuart Kirkham]

The first control tower (shown in photo) was constructed in 1946. This may be why the photo (found on the net) has the date 1946 attached to it. This tower was subsequently demolished in 1962. One could now conclude that the photograph was taken between these dates. Most probably late 40's or 50's. If so, the Shelvoke & Drewry truck would fit in nicely.

The CMP ambulance plate reads C- 58391. The Chev next to it reads C-75604. Cannot read the others unfortunately.
