Perth Airport, W.A. 60 years in 30 minutes.

Western Australia embraced air travel, even before Qantas was formed.
Yet Perth Airport didn't come about until 1942. In the next sixty years a huge variety of aircraft visited. Here are rare pictures of some of those aircraft.

Thanks for the memories and 'brain reminders' of times past. I loved standing at aookout on top of the main building and watching flights of all sizes land an later take-off. We were so close. . We were there and both felt and heard the roar of both jet and turboprops' sounds. Again, thanks for the memories

You are welcome.

Very much enjoying this & naming the planes as fast as I can before looking. I believe @08:55 You're referring to the Telecom Rally Australia, as it was called. Telstra & Commander had not long been split up by our government back then. Crazy to remember so many stories just from looking at some old pictures. Fantastic! Thanks from an ex Commander Technician from around that era.

Sad not to see a Wards Express Learjet in the air freight section. That service offered was well ahead of its time.

I agree. Many thanks for your input.
