The RAAF's third oldest base, Laverton Aerodrome was decommissioned in 1996, with the last flight taking place on February 1998 by a DeHavilland Vampire. The base was host to many popular postwar airshows and today operates as an administrative base. The airfield itself is slowly disappearing under the new suburb of Williams Landing.  |
