Cloncurry Airport Cloncurry Airport Cloncurry Airport is an airport in Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia. Cloncurry Airport has been the focal point for many of Australia’s greatest innovations. Cloncurry was involved with the beginnings of QANTAS, and the original QANTAS hangar is still in use at the aerodrome, where "Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service" is still displayed above the hangar door. The Royal Flying Doctor Service was founded there in 1928, now recognised the world over. The airport was also on route for early planes coming from overseas and a stopping place for contestants in the great air races of 1919 and 1934.
Baron Cloncurry divorced his first wife, Elizabeth Georgiana Morgan, in 1811 after a particularly scandalous lawsuit, on the ground of her adultery with Sir John Piers, 6th Baronet. The titles descended from father to son until the death of his grandson, the fourth Baron, in 1928. The late Baron was succeeded by his younger brother, the fifth Baron. He was unmarried and the titles became extinct on his death on 18 July 1929. The 3rd Baron committed suicide in 1869 by jumping from the third floor of his house, Lyons Place.
