205 Sqn Shackletons had at least a couple of visits to Vietnam in 70/71. One after an engine failure off the coast whilst in transit between HK and Changi and diversion to Phan Rang, where the crew were 'looked after' by 2 Sqn RAAF then flying Canberrras, and did a number of 'interesting' things whilst waiting for a new engine. Another went into Saigon - Tan Son Nhut - for much the same problem IIRC - but the crew were strictly monitored. However, we didn't 'serve' there.
