Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) was the name of an aircraft manufacturer owned by the Government of Australia based at Fishermans Bend a suburb of Melbourne in Victoria. It had its origins in the lead-up to World War II during which it was known as the Department of Aircraft Production (DAP). In 1987 GAF was reorganised and renamed as Aerospace Technologies of Australia (ASTA) then privatised. ASTA subsequently formed the nucleus of Boeing Australia.
