YHLM Darkan, Western Australia (Hillman Farm Skydiving)

File Description:
YHLM Darkan (Hillman Farm Skydiving) - Harrington's farm is the site of a WW2 Air Force Strip. Most of these strips were built far enough inland to gain altitude before arriving at the coast. In 1972, The Darkan Hot Rod Club used the nearby gravel pit as a site for their race track using machinery provided by the West Arthur Shire Council. I drove the road roller for those works. My job on race days was to remove dead sheep from the runway before aircraft arrived. One leg of the strip has been ploughed in but apart from the bitumen surfacing which has worn off, the airstrip is still intact and serviceable. Darkan Townsite, 7m southwest is the central town in the shire and apart from the wheat bins which were relocated after the railway was removed, has not changed much in the last 50 years. This model includes the Darkan townsite. REQUIRES Blencowe_LibraryKit.zip
