Looking south. Known as Mascot airport at the time of this John Harrison photo. After WW2, Cooks River was diverted to enter Botany Bay at the far left of photo and channel filled. Three existing runways replaced by 07/25 and 16/34. In 1960s, 70s and 90s, large areas of the bay were filled to first lengthen 16/34 and then add third runway. Hangar marked Mascot and those immediately behind are site of today's Terminal 3. Third row of hangars now site of Terminal 2. Qantas base occupies much of the foreground and the hangars at left.
