RAAF Base Rathmines RAAF Base Rathmines was a Royal Australian Air Force base located on Lake Macquarie in New South Wales . RAAF Base Rathmines was established in 1939 and was the RAAF ' s main flying boat base during World War II and the early 1950s . During World War II aircraft based at Rathmines conducted anti - submarine patrols along the Australian east coast and the base was home to the RAAF ' s main seaplane training units . In addition , detachments from Squadrons based at Rathmines flew numerous offensive mine laying missions into Japanese - held territory ( due to Rathmines distance from the front line , these aircraft staged through bases in Northern Australia when travelling to and from their targets ) . Rathmines was also the RAAF Maritime Section ' s main training base . After the RAAF retired its flying boats in 1952 RAAF Base Rathmines was used as a ground - training base for , among others , officers , senior non - commissioned officers , physical training instructors , national servicemen and recruits until being closed in 1960 / 61 . When the base closed a large hangar , complete with electrically operated doors and used for servicing seaplanes , was pulled down and half of the very high building shipped to RAAF Base Richmond to house the RAAF ' s then - new C - 130 Hercules aircraft . Flying units based at RAAF Rathmines at different times included :
Chunyu Qiong Chunyu Qiong ( died 200 ) was a military general serving under the warlord Yuan Shao during the late Han Dynasty period of Chinese history . He played a significant part in the Battle of Guandu in 200 . Biography . Little is known about Chunyu ' s background other than that in 188 , he was a colonel of the newly created Army of the Western Garden along with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao . He may have left the capital at around the same time as Yuan and joined the coalition against Dong Zhuo in 190 . It is clear that by the end of the decade , Chunyu had become one of Yuan Shao ' s leading and most trusted commanders . In a later memorial submitted by Cao Cao , he is referred to as " a great general under Yuan Shao . " ( 紹大將 ) In 195 , Yuan Shao ' s strategist Ju Shou suggested that he welcome Emperor Xian to his province so that he could effectively be in control of the imperial government , but Chunyu Qiong opposed — under the faulty logic that if he did , he would have to yield to Emperor Xian on key decisions . Yuan listened to Chunyu and gave up the chance to Cao Cao . In 200 , Cao Cao had become Yuan ' s main rival for domination of northern China . In the preparations for the clash , Chunyu sided with Guo Tu against Ju Shou , calling for a more aggressive strategy against Cao Cao . As a result , he was given command of a third of Yuan ' s army along with Guo . In the spring of 200 , he joined Guoand Yan Liang in an attack on Boma , held by Cao Cao ' s general Liu Yan . In the latter stages of the Battle of Guandu , Chunyu led more than 10 , 000 troops to Wuchao , about 40 " li " north of Yuan ' s main camp , to receive a new shipment of grain supplies . In early dawn , he was surprised by a raid led by Cao himself . Yuan Shao ' s cavalry were routed and Chunyu was captured during the battle . His nose was cut off , and he was brought to Cao . Cao asked , " What do you have to say for yourself ? " and Chunyu replied : " The sky decides the victor , what need have you to ask ? " Impressed by the answer , Cao wanted to spare his life , but Xu You urged Cao to kill Chunyu , saying that Chunyu would take revenge later on him for cutting off his nose . Cao then ordered Chunyu to be executed . With the fall of Wuchao , Yuan Shao ' s positions collapsed and a number of his commanders , such as Gao Lan and Zhang He , defected to Cao Cao . Chunyu ' s defeat at Wuchao has earned him a reputation in Chinese folklore as a commander without any real ability . In fiction . In Luo Guanzhong ' s historical novel " Romance of the Three Kingdoms " , Chunyu was described as a heavy drinker and often seen with a bottle of wine . During the Battle of Guandu , Yuan Shao left Chunyu as the overseer of the important supply depot in Wuchao . When Cao Cao , who listened to Xu You ' s advice , found the depot , Chunyu was drunk at the time and failed to put up any significant defence . This resulted in Cao succeeding in burning down the supply depot . Afterwards , Cao mutilated Chunyu and sent him back to Yuan Shao . The furious Yuan ordered Chunyu ' s execution .

William Mitchell ( Royal Navy officer ) Sir William Mitchell , KCB ( c . 1745 – 7 March 1816 ) was an officer of the British Royal Navy during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries . Mitchell is best known for rising from humble origins to high rank , having joined the Navy in 1766 as an able seaman and died in 1816 as a vice - admiral . His service was highly varied , including a circumnavigation of the world , command of a ship at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797 and a period as Sir James Saumarez ' s flag captain . He was also rumoured to have once been flogged round the fleet for desertion , although no firm evidence of this has been discovered . Life . Nothing is known of William Mitchell ' s birth , youth or childhood , other than that he must have been born in either 1745 or 1746 as his age at his death was reported to be 70 . The first time that he appears in the historical record is in 1766 , when he joined the Royal Navy ship HMS " Dolphin " under Captain Samuel Wallis . As he was already rated as an able seaman , it is likely that he was already experienced at sea , and he remained on board " Dolphin " during Wallis ' circumnavigation of the world between 1766 and 1768 . He then disappears from Navy records , not reappearing again until July 1777 , when he reenlisted on HMS " Hector " during the American Revolutionary War . As an experienced seaman , he was able to secure a promotion to master ' s mate and midshipman , transferring to HMS " Victory " and then in 1781 to HMS " Foudroyant " as an acting lieutenant . In November 1781 he went before a Navy board and was confirmed in the rank of lieutenant . In 1790 , after the Peace of Paris , Mitchell was promoted to post captain and in 1792 took command of the 14 - gun HMS " Pygmy " , moving to HMS " Adamant " and then HMS " Isis " two year later . Mitchell remained in command of " Isis " for the next six years , and saw action at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797 , defeating the much larger Dutch ship " Gelijkheid " . In 1800 , Mitchell moved to HMS " Resolution " and then in 1803 to HMS " Zealand " , the flagship of Admiral Sir James Saumarez . By 1807 , Mitchell had been returned to shore service , commanding the sea fencibles at Shoreham - by - Sea . In 1808 he was promoted to rear - admiral and continued to rise through the ranks during his years on shore , becoming a vice - admiral in 1813 and being made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath shortly before his death at Camberwell in Surrey on 7 March 1816 . Many years after his death , Sir John Ross wrote of him that he had " risen to the rank of rear - admiral by his good conduct , after having been flogged round the fleet for desertion " . This claim , which has never been backed up by firm evidence , may be accurate given the odd disappearance of Mitchell from Navy records between 1768 and 1777 .
