What did you see in the back of a hanger in SE Asia?

A fairly unimportant but interesting part of my life revolves around attempting to locate long-forgotten military airframes lurking in the dark recesses of ancient hangers in SE Asia. Thailand is a no-go area for me but Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam aren't.

I wonder if any of your correspondents on their 'travels' in this region many years ago came across any such relics? Yes, things have changed in the interim, but my Vietnamese bothers and sisters can be surprisingly lax as regards moving things (and the Laotians are so bloody lazy they wouldn't move stuff even if it was resting on their foot...).. If the building still exists, chances are the airframe will still be there too. So if you were annoyed by an old Bearcat taking up valuable hangar space as you struggled to service your Hueys back in '69, please point out where this happened and I'll have someone check it out. Thanks!
