Anyone who has driven past the old DTB (Domestic Terminal Building) of late would have noticed it is now rubble. It has been demolished as part of the Adelaide Airport Upgrade Plans to make way for new tarmac area.

Most notable is the demolition of the old Control Tower.

The new plans include extension of the current T1 area, a plaza where the current short term car park is located and parallel GA terminal buildings to the north.

5DME will be following the progress of the upgrade and photos will be published in the gallery.

VH-CAT a Fokker F27 100 which was recently moved to the South Australian Aviation Museum at Port Adelaide has had it's engines fitted and the starboard wing re-attached. 5DME will endeavour to update our photos of this aircraft as soon as possible.
