25.01.2022 On this day...23rd of June 1942, more press coverage in the Sydney Morning Herald of "the greatest aerodrome Australia has ever seen". The details of the locati...on, purpose, size and scale of Tocumwal's air depot wouldn't be made public until after end of WW2, but anyone in this little bush town and the region would have been in no doubt about what was happening and where!

13.01.2022 This is always a good event.

12.01.2022 Edit: This event has been cancelled due to the current COVID-19 situation. Apologies for any inconvenience. - DAC Committee Deniliquin Aero Club is pleased to announce that we will be recommencing our famous weekly Sunday breakfasts on Sunday 10th January 2021 from 0830 to 0930 AEDT (Subject to COVID-19 restrictions).

12.01.2022 On this day 78 years ago, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on "Australia's Biggest Aerodrome" being built on the outskirts of a little bush town "somewhere in... Australia". That "somewhere" was of course Tocumwal but due to the SECRET nature of the project and National Security Regulations during the war, the location and other details could not be reported on and wouldn't be until after the end of WW2.

08.01.2022 Deni has plenty to offer for the Easter Long Weekend :)

07.01.2022 Calling members of aero clubs in the region ...fly in for lunch and fellowship at our Open day on Saturday 21 November....all very welcome...

07.01.2022 Today commemorates 75 years since the unconditional surrender by the Japanese, marking the end of hostilities in the Pacific theatre and the end of World War 2.... The attached Operations Log Books for the RAAF Station Tocumwal HQ and 7 Operational Training Unit (OTU) reflect the respective Commanding Officer's entries for the period. On the 16th of August 1945, all personnel not on duty that day participated in a victory march from the RAAF Station into town and a parade at the oval. The 7 OTU Commanding Officer's reflection of the parade states "The march was very effective, but did not arouse much enthusiasm from the local inhabitants." The end of hostilities didn't immediately impact on operations or activity at RAAF Station Tocumwal. Training and maintenance activities continued and the workers of 7 Aircraft Depot were soon to begin converting B-24 Liberators from their heavy bomber configuration to a cargo configuration capable of supporting the mass repatriation of Australian troops and Prisoners of War from many locations throughout the South West Pacific area of operations. The high level of activity and operational tempo at Tocumwal would remain through to the end of 1945 before the mass demobilisation of military forces commenced. * Parade images via the THAM Collection, Operation Record Books via the National Archives.
