ONSLOW, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, 1952. BRITISH ATOMIC TESTS ON THE MONTE BELLO ISLANDS, WA, IN OCTOBER 1952. ONSLOW'S AIRFIELD WHICH SEES RELATIVELY FEW AIRCRAFT IN NORMAL TIMES, BECAME ALMOST AS BUSY AS GUILFORD. MANY TYPES OF CIVIL AND SERVICE AIRCRAFT VISITED THE TOWN AND AS THE TIME OF THE TEST APPROACHED, SEVERAL DOUGLAS C47 DAKOTA PATROL AIRCRAFT WERE STATIONED AT ONSLOW. EVERY DAY THEY PATROLLED UP AND DOWN THE COAST. THE PICTURE SHOWS THE AIRCRAFT AND THEIR CREWS AND MAINTENANCE MEN.
