RAAF Base Laverton (now part of RAAF Williams after the merger with RAAF Point Cook) was one of Australia’s earliest and most important Air Force establishments, operating from the 1920s and playing a major role in training, aircraft testing, logistics, and wartime expansion. The Laverton airfield was decommissioned in 1996, ending flying operations. Much of the site has now been converted into a residential housing estate.
