That fighter map has an intersting tidbit. Tindal is spelt with TWO L's. It is now and has been for thirty years spelt with 1 L. For those who dont know, Tindal (then "under construction") is now Australia's premiere fighter base, home of 75SQN, and was named after the first RAAF officer killed in Darwin. The airmans club at Tindal is called the Latham Club, named after the first RAAF airman killed in Darwin. I met the parents of LAC Latham who came up to Tindal from Gipsland in Victoria for the official reopening of Tindal, I think it was 1988.
