I may be missing something here, but some slight clarification re post #13..
The single-engine Huey II is an upgrade of the UH-1H. The twin-engine UH-1Y Venom, also known as the 'Super Huey', is a new-build stretched and enhanced version of the UH-1N.
Re some earlier posts concerning Iroquois historical efforts at Amberley.
A2-771 was among the 16 x UH-1H first acquired by the RAAF in Vietnam in 1968 and survived that campaign intact. It was never utilised as a gunship during Vietnam operations, but was modified at Amberley after return to Australia in 1971 for adaptation to the Bushranger configuration when required.
Unit history would be accurately portrayed if A2-771 is exhibited in the olive drab colour scheme that applied to 9SQN aircraft in Vietnam, but not if the aircraft is configured as a gunship. If exhibited in Bushranger configuration, the aircraft livery should be the 2 tone Air Force camouflage scheme which was introduced in 1976.
Consider me pedantic if you wish, but I am not supportive of distorting military history.
