Remembrance
Aeroplane Street honours a poignant chapter of World War One history, commemorating the Aeroplane Cemetery in Ypres, Belgium, near Zonnebeke. The cemetery earned its name from an aircraft wreckage on the site and serves as the final resting place for 1,105 Commonwealth servicemen, including at least two Australians, with 636 unidentified burials.
World War One marked the pioneering era of military aviation. What began with rudimentary flying machines evolved dramatically by war’s end into specialised fighters, bombers, and long-range aircraft, forever changing warfare. The street’s name preserves the memory of those early aviators who took to the skies in fragile aircraft, many making the ultimate sacrifice as aviation warfare developed. Their courageous contributions to the ANZAC legacy live on through this commemorative Brisbane streetscape.
