Donnington Airpark

Donnington Airpark (ICAO: YDOP) is located on the Flinders Highway at Woodstock, a suburb of Townsville in Australia. It is also called Woodstock Airport and is known for its airshows. There are rumours that it was built in 1942, and that the hard surfaced wartime runways have been removed, along with all of the buildings and former wartime structures. This is not true. Donnington Airpark was not a World War II airstrip. The airpark and associated grass runways were constructed on virgin bushland by Ray Smith in 1969, as a satellite airfield to Townsville Airport, for general aviation. It has never had a sealed surface. There are other airfields in the Woodstock area.
