# RAAF Base Curtin

RAAF Base Curtin, also sometimes RAAF Curtin (IATA: DCN, ICAO: YCIN) is a joint use Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) military air base and civil airport located 19 nautical miles (35 km; 22 mi) southeast of the town of Derby, Western Australia. As it is one of the RAAF's three bare bases, no RAAF units are permanently based at Curtin and it is maintained by a small caretaker staff during peacetime.
The base is named in honour of former Prime Minister John Curtin.

## History

RAAF Curtin was the first new major military airfield to be built in Australia since World War II. Construction on the base began in 1983 and it was opened on 11 June 1988 by Prime Minister Bob Hawke. The 25,000-hectare (62,000-acre) base was activated twice by the RAAF between 1988 and 2013. It was activated again in 2016 as part of Exercise Northern Shield.
From the late 1990s the base operated as Curtin Immigration Reception and Processing Centre, an Australian Government immigration detention centre, which closed in September 2002. However the centre was reopened in April 2010 to house around sixty Sri Lankan and Afghan asylum seekers whose applications were suspended.
In 2007 direct flights recommenced between Perth and Derby (RAAF Curtin) for the first time since Ansett Australia stopped the service in 1992. However, the flights ceased in February 2016.
In 2016 and 2017 the Australian Government announced that facilities at Curtin would receive a A$100 to A$200 million upgrade, in addition to a range of other defence facilities in Western Australia.

# RAAF Base Mallala

RAAF Base Mallala was a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) base at Mallala, South Australia.

## History

Since 1939, the RAAF was aware of a suitable airfield at Mallala. On 25 February 1941 a group of officers conducted a detailed assessment of the site. It was favoured for its flat geography, proximity to the Mallala township, proximity the main railway line running north of Adelaide, and reasonably low annual rainfall. There were some concerns about the potential for dust storms to disrupt flight but the use of a grass mat was thought to bind the surface enough to prevent dust.
By 1941, detailed plans had been drawn up. The plans included dozens of buildings and various facilities designed to house a large base staffed with around 1300 personnel. They included underground fuel tanks and 15 aircraft hangars. Construction of several elements of the base was completed by mid-August 1941.
The base was the home of No. 6 Service Flying Training School (No. 6 SFTS) during World War II. The SFTS provided advanced training for RAAF pilots, operating mainly Arvo Anson and Airspeed Oxford aircraft. Techniques taught at the school included instrument flying, night flying, advanced aerobatics, formation flying and aerial gunnery.
During 1942, war conditions saw some 4000 feet of trenches being dug around the site and anti-aircraft posts being built.
1943 saw the peak of activity at Mallala. During the year 711 trainees graduated. There were 120 Arvo Anson aircraft on site. Personnel exceeded 1600.
A total of 39 men were killed as a result of aircraft accidents serving with No. 6 SFTS at Mallala between 1941 and 1945.
Following the cessation of hostilities, RAAF Base Mallala was a temporary base for flight test and transport support for the joint UK-Australian Weapons Research Establishment at Woomera. When RAAF Base Edinburgh opened in 1954, operations at Mallala wound down until the base closed in May 1960.
The site has been extensively modified and is now the Mallala Motor Sport Park.

## Units based at RAAF Base Mallala

* No. 6 Service Flying Training School

# Isaac Slover

Isaac Slover (c. 1780–1854) was an American 19th century fur trader. He was one of the first American trappers officially allowed into New Mexico, as part of the Glenn-Fowler Expedition of Hugh Glenn and Jacob Fowler. He was one of the first trappers to take up formal residence at Taos, New Mexico. Slover is known for his association with many other trappers in the American Southwest, including Ewing Young and William Wolfskill working the tributaries of the Colorado River in 1824, and with James Ohio Pattie and his father Sylvester Pattie on the Gila River and Lower Colorado River in 1828. Seeking food and water they cached their furs and went west to Baja California where they were arrested and imprisoned at San Diego from late 1828 to 1829.
Later from New Mexico, Slover crossed the southwest into Alta California on the Old Spanish Trail, and helped open overland trading between that province and New Mexico. By 1843, Slover had established himself and his family in California, settling near San Bernardino. He continued to trap and hunt in the region, and died of injuries received in a bear attack in 1854. Issac Slover is also thought to be buried in the cemetery of Agua Mansa. Slover Mountain nearby where he lived was named for him.

# It's Time to Cry

"It's Time to Cry" is a song written and performed by singer-songwriter Paul Anka. It was released in October 1959.

## Content and composition

The song, at two minutes and twenty-four seconds long, is in the key of D sharp / E flat major, with a tempo of 74 beats per minute. Its lyrical content is about how a partner ending their relationship with you leads to heartbreak, loneliness and sadness, with Anka writing that such an occasion would be "the time to cry" for both people involved.

## Reception and chart performance

A Billboard writer called the song and its B-side, "strong ballad efforts, read in hit style, nicely chanted over lush chorus and orchestra backing," while Cashbox wrote of the song, "It's Time to Cry should easily follow in the footsteps of 'Put Your Head on My Shoulder,' for the talented singer-cleffer, who keeps turning out one rock-a-ballad chart smash after another. Chorus and orchestra superbly assist Anka as he waxes this emotional romancer with heartfelt sincerity."
"It's Time to Cry" debuted at number 8 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart for the week of November 23, 1959. The following week, it debuted at number 74 on the main Hot 100, peaking at number 4 and charting there for a total of 15 weeks. It was also ranked by Billboard as the 66th biggest song of 1960, and by Cashbox as their 46th biggest song of 1960. In addition, the song reached 28 in the United Kingdom, 5 in Canada, 18 in Australia, and 2 in Italy.
The song was covered by The Lettermen for their 1964 album, She Cried.
