On Thursday, the Narromine Shire Council unveiled Ewen Way, Hayden Court, Powell Place and Johnston Close, at a morning tea and ceremony involving friends and family of the four individuals who contributed to the aviation history in the town.

Ewen Way was named after Ewen Thomas David Jones who began his flying career in Narromine in 1942 with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He served in World War II as a bomber pilot and upon his return to Narromine became a flying instructor.

All men are life members of the Narromine Aero Club.

Narromine Shire Council mayor Craig Davies said each of the men had made a huge contribution to aviation in the shire.

"These men dedicated themselves to aviation and to the Narromine community," he said.

"They all have wonderful life stories and we are immensely privileged to have their names associated with the Narromine Aviation Business Park."
