The Dawson Farm aerodrome was located at Myross Bush, New Zealand, northeast of the southern city of Invercargill.
As the name suggests, the airfield was created by a local farming family for the eventual development into Invercargill's first public aerodrome in 1929.
At the end of hostilities in 1945, the RNZAF delisted the aerodrome from its use[3] and returned the site to the city, which soon leased the land back to the local farming community.
[4] Although favoured by the city, costs were seen as prohibitive as it would have involve moving power pylons away from proposed approach vectors.
A major flood protection scheme which the New Zealand Government would pay for was approved instead, and the Dawson Farm proposal was dropped.
