Welcome to Cunderdin airport.
Located approx 74nm east of Jandakot airport (YPJT) & 27nm east of Northam (YNTM).
Cunderdin airfield was constructed in early WW2 as an elementry training school for ab initio pilots for the Empire Air Training Scheme(EATS).
Following the war the base was used as a migrant camp and in 1957 the Commonwealth began disposing of some assets at the base and ownership of some of the buildings passed into private hands including the Gliding Club of WA which purchased Building 109. The original airfield comprised three main areas - the Movement Area, the Hangar Area and the Camp Area. The Camp Area is no longer a part of the airfield and now houses the Agricultural College. In 1992 the remaining land at the airfield (but excluding land for the Junior Agricultural High School and some other adjustments) was transferred to the Shire of Cunderdin under a special agreement with the Commonwealth.
The Gliding Club of WA was established in 1944 and is the longest established Gliding Club in the State. The club moved to the Cunderdin Airfield in 1959 and has been housed there ever since.
Any issues let me know.....enjoy!!
