6OTU Beauforts at Jervis Bay Airport
No. 6 Operational Training Unit (6OTU) was a Royal Australian Air Force training unit of World War II. 6OTU was formed at RAAF Base Nowra on 5 June 1943 to provide DAP Beaufort aircrew with training in torpedo dropping procedures and tactics. The Unit also supported the RAAF's torpedo training and trials unit. Training was made as realistic as possible, and the converted ferry HMAS Burra-Bra was often used as a target ship. 6OTU was disbanded on 31 March 1944.
