Extension of Alice Springs Aerodrome upgraded
In Darwin a senior RAAP field officer announced the Alice Springs aerodrome would be strengthened and upgraded to modern operational standards. Work would begin this year to extend the runway from 2 008 ft to about 6 008 ft and improve landing load capacity. The improved airfield would not handle large jet bombs like the American B53 but would serve as a useful support aerodrome for Darwin, a major base in the Southern Hemisphere.
