List of RAAF inland aircraft fuel depots
Originally some of the depots stored fuel in drums and were referred to as "‘Inland Storages for Reserves of Aviation Spirit’" and others designated "‘RAAF Inland Storage Depots’" which were later referred to as "‘RAAF Inland Petrol Depot (RIPDs)’". With another later standardisation of the name, these depots were finally designated "‘Inland Aircraft Fuel Depot’" The eventual construction of these brick and steel tanks was substantially carried out by the Allied Works Council made up of bricklayers, carpenters and manual labour.
