Research into Woy Woy airfield

Local researcher Sharon Bakewell is searching for photos or oral history of the Woy Woy wartime airfield.

The airfield was constructed as a satellite field of Schofields airfield, which was used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm.

The airfield, which had a single sealed north-south runway aligned with the current Trafalgar Ave, was used between 1941 and 1946.

Ms Bakewell has collected information from the national archives but needs to hear from local who were here at the time.

Anyone who has any details regarding the airfield can contact Ms Bakewell at PO Box 30, Woy Woy, 2256.

Ms Bakewell can also be contacted by email at sharon@localhistoryaustralia.info.
