Photo Comment

VH-TBJ rolls to a halt on runway 07. Photo taken from the balcony of a former control tower that was demolished to make way for a new taxiway. The large white building in the background contained a scale model of Botany Bay used to study erosion and sand flows when runway 16 was to be extended into the bay.
