Deniliquin Airport (IATA: DNQ[2], ICAO: YDLQ) is an airport located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) south of Deniliquin,[1] a town in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia.
RAAF Station Deniliquin
RAAF Station Deniliquin was formed in 1941 as a station for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), during the Second World War, at the airfield as part of the Empire Air Training Scheme as No. 7 Service Flying Training School.[3]
It was also a final disbanding site for squadrons returning from active duty against the Japanese in the Pacific. No. 22 Squadron RAAF[4] and No. 30 Squadron RAAF[5] were disbanded here in 1946, and in 1945 and 1946 it was also a base for No. 78 Squadron RAAF before it was finally disbanded in Williamtown.[6]
