Saigon

Now there's a thing. So the pictures of Saigon, Tan Son Nhut airbase and as a result of a night stop the scenes of downtown Saigon didn't happen. What a relief, didn't want to get into trouble after all this time.

Incidentally ref JATFOR I was on the weather aircraft for many of these sorties and took a mass of cine from 1000ft whilst the formations formed up, executed the impressive taxi plan etc and as the only aircraft airborne at the time I guess they are unique. Alas they are on Super 8 format and with no way of playing them they remain part of the loft collection. Seems a shame as they are part of the fleets history.

Enjoyed reading the preceding pages, great memories of a wonderful period in our formative years.
