Nestled in the Hawkesbury region about 50 km north-west of Sydney, RAAF Base Richmond is the oldest Royal Australian Air Force base in NSW and the second oldest in the country. Its story began when No. 3 Squadron RAAF relocated from Point Cook and established operations on 30 June 1925, landing its DH.9s, DH.9As and SE.5As at the site.

says:My Grandparents had.Farm on the edge of the field during the 30’s, which was passed onto the government duringWWII, they were given an equal amount of land at Quakers Hill in exchange. As a young child I enjoyed seeing the odd aircraft fly over at low altitude, probably what got me hooked on aviation. I had an amazing life working in aviation, it took me to wonderful places to live, a very adventurous life was delivered.
Most fortunate..
