Cunnamulla Airport (IATA: CMA, ICAO: YCMU) is an airport in Cunnamulla, Queensland, Australia. The airport is 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) west northwest from the town.
1970 Royal Tour
In April 1970 Princess Anne was scheduled to visit Cunamulla during a Royal Tour. Local authorities decided the derelict Miles M.65 Gemini at the airport had to be moved out of sight. A rope was attached to the tailwheel and a tractor pulled from the front, with the expectation that the inverted aircraft would be pulled over on to its undercarriage legs. However the deteriorated wooden fuselage was crushed and broke up. The wreck was moved out of sight on the airport.
