Fishermen's Bend Aerodrome

Fishermen's Bend Aerodrome is a former aerodrome located at Fishermen's Bend, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The aerodrome served the Australian Governments Department of Aircraft Production and the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation plants. Due to the newer jet aircraft proposed to be built requiring longer runways for safe operations, the Fishermans Bend runways were not able to be extended as the aerodrome had been encroached upon by development. Avalon Airport was opened in 1953, to cater for the production of jet military aircraft.

The airfield was also used for motorbike races in August 1948 then cars from 1949 until it closed down in 1957.
