Canberra Buffalo Range -in these early days circa 1976 the choppers parked on the grass between the Canberra and revetments behind.

Here is a sequence of photographs taken by my brother Owen Shaw when he was based at Buffalo Range Airoprt in 1976-7the photographs are taken from the Airport tower. If one looks to the left of some of the photographs you can see the FAF which was not yet fully developed with the hardstanding, revetments and refuelling facilities. The helicopters would park on the grass between the Canberras and the fixed wing revetment to the left.
