Historic WWII Royal Australian Air Force base in the Northern Territory.
Opened
1942
Location
Northern Territory, Australia
Fenton Airfield was a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) base established during World War II in the Northern Territory of Australia. It served as a strategic military airfield used by Allied forces, particularly for bomber operations against Japanese targets in the Pacific theater.
The airfield is located roughly 100 kilometres south of Darwin and was one of several wartime airstrips constructed in the Top End to support the Allied campaign. After the war, the airfield was decommissioned and is no longer in active operational use.
Today, Fenton Airfield is largely an abandoned historical site, with remnants of its wartime infrastructure still visible. It holds significance as part of Australia's WWII heritage in the Northern Territory.
