Postfade, thank you. I think the Beaver in Laos must have been quite a bit after '64 and probably for the MILITARY Attache at Vientiane rather than the AIR Attache, there being NO established AA post there.
The Devon photographed is our 'opposite number's' machine VP978 accredited to Djakarta, Rangoon and Manilla. We had 977 and were initially accredited to Bangkok, Vientiane, Phnom Penh and Saigon. Towards the end of my time (late '63), the Saigon responsibility was reallocated to Djarkarta, Manilla and we took over Rangoon. ... thereby hangs a tale!!!
Apologies for thread drift
