No. 6 Operational Training Unit (6 OTU) was a Royal Australian Air Force training unit of World War II. 6 OTU was formed at RAAF Base Nowra in June 1943 to provide DAP Beaufort aircrew with training in torpedo dropping procedures and tactics. The Unit also supported the RAAF's torpedo training and trials unit. Training was made as realistic as possible, and the converted ferry HMAS Burra-Bra was often used as a target ship. 6 OTU was disbanded in March 1944.
