Flying into Kingsford Smith Airport for some people can be somewhat daunting. We have a St George cricketer to thank for the well laid out runways. With knowledge of aeronautics, our cricketer has ensured that over the past eighty years planes have landed on the north south or the east west runway correctly. This was due to the location of the runways, consideration of possible varying climatic conditions and their construction. The design, and responsibility was that of the former St George cricketer, Harold Fraser.

That same name is also familiar to those cricketers in Sydney who have played at Harold Fraser Oval, Carss Park. It was named in honour of the service provided by Fraser to the St George community on 25th August 1979.
