This view is looking north down Runway 04 with Doomben Racecourse at bottom left with the light aircraft parking area on the other side of the racecourse boundary fence. Television coverage of horse racing at Doomben would often show visiting aircraft in the background. At top right is the Army's Damascus Barracks at Meeandah. The passenger terminals and maintenance hangars are in the centre of the image.
