Note Spiral binding. Includes Bibliographical references (pages 17-18) These recollections are my observations as an interested juvenile neighbour of Bradfield Park RAAF Station. Two mock air raids on the station that I witnessed in the early 1940s were significant and spectacular events. Probably due to wartime security,they were not reported in newspapers of the time, and I am not aware they have been reported since. Although Bradfield Park as a migrant camp has been described by others, to record the mock air raids and my 1944 conducted tour "inside" seems important an d may be the only reports of these matters. This document will also report my observations of the station's model room and the presence of a real aircraft on the establishment! General.
