(Unregistered Proprietary Horseracing in Sydney, 1888-1942 ) University of Western Sydney, December 2004.〕 Large crowds were moved to and from the racecourse by a dedicated tramline from Botany Road.〔Timmony, PJ.(Handling Heavy Traffic on Special Occasions ). 6 February 1934, from ''Action For Public Transport''.〕 The first aeroplane flight over Sydney was made from Ascot Racecourse on 5 May 1911, by J.J. Hammond in his Boxkite plane. 〔(Sydney Airport Environment 2006-2010 )〕 The racecourse closed during World War II when it was used as a military camp. It did not reopen after the war, and was demolished as part of expansion works for Sydney Airport. The only surviving physical evidence of the racecourse is fifteen fig trees which formerly lined the racecourse entrance. These trees are located near the airport's long-term carpark, and are the subject of heritage preservation.〔 ==See also==
