Herkman - C130E 1968
I was Adj on the Air Transportable Telecommunications Flight (ATTU) - mobile Air Traffic in other words - at Richmond when the Es first arrived there. The base was humming with delight and everybody wanted a 'go' - yes, I did manage it. Flew to Townsville for Christmas - hot and very wet, both inside and out! My other 'hat' was RAAF Liaison Officer with the US Embassy helping to organise R'n'R for troops arriving on various bits of transport from Vietnam. By 1968 I was back home in Edinburgh, Scotland
