A3 AirfieldA3 Airfield




In previous posts I told you about the A1 Airfield at Lawnton and the A2 (Spitfire Avenue) Airfield at Strathpine.


Today we visited the last of these three airfields – the Strathpine South A3 Field.


It’s in Brendale near the corner of South Pine Road and Linkfield Street.


An industrial estate mostly occupied by warehouses, the council has set aside one corner of the former airfield as a croquet field.


The airstrip was mostly used for emergency landings when the main A2 strip was unavailable due to wind direction.
