Hangar 3 Ansett-ANA Freight & Ground Equipment
Hangar 4 Ansett-ANA Terminal
Hangar 5 International Terminal

Hangar 7 TAA Maintenance & Catering, later TAA Freight &

Hangar 8 TAA Maintenance, later extended. Qantas Engineering &
Cabin Services occupied space on the northern side of the extended

Subsequently,
an additional three igloos were erected between Hangars 6 &

Hangar ? TAA Freight, later DCA Flying Unit
Hangar 9 Ansett-ANA Maintenance
Hangar 10 Ansett-ANA Maintenance
In the sixties, TAA erected an additional hangar east of H8 adjacent
to the Ford plant. Identified as Hangar 12, it was more commonly
known as "The Boeing Hangar". |
Note
the truncated so-called "Straight Six" at the adjoining
Doomben Racecourse. This six furlong (1207 metre) track was resumed
during the wartime redevelopment of Eagle Farm. The racecourse
itself became a tent city known as Camp Doomben during the war. |
The
SW/NE runway was later extended to the north-east and shortened
at the south-west end to become Eagle Farm's Main Runway 04/22. |
The
WSW/ENE runway was later eliminated. |
The
SE/NW runway was retained as Runway 13/31. |
