Between 1945 and 1961 the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics operated twenty-one field stations or remote sites in or near Sydney and Wollongong during the early development of radio astronomy in Australia. One of these field stations operated at Bankstown Aerodrome from 1947 to 1948. To date, the existence of this field station has mostly escaped documentation in the historical record. This short paper gives an overview of the work carried out at this field station in the context of the early development of Australian radio astronomy.
