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. The Laverton site contains two Commonwealth Heritage‑listed precincts, Officers’ Mess and the Eastern Hangars & West Workshops precincts.A Group Captain in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is a senior officer (Rank O‑6) whose core role is to command a base, a large wing, or a major organisational unit, with responsibility for operations, personnel, logistics, discipline, and strategic planning.WGCDR J Murray MBE MC October 1939 to Jul 1940 GP Capt T Marsden.
