Learmonth
During World War II, the Learmonth Airfield, also known as 'Potshot', provided protection for the US Navy's submarine base in the Exmouth Gulf, and also housed a variety of RAAF radar stations providing early warning of any enemy movements. Following World War II, the airfield was upgraded by No 5 Airfield Construction Squadron in the early 1970s, and today is one of the RAAF's bare bases that can support operational and exercise deployments as required.
