Third in the trilogy of this sequence but plenty more to come provided that they are still of interest. There may also be a slight thread drift now and again but today's excuse will be if it was not for the 'K' I would not have been in a position to take the pics ! Hope the originator of this thread and the 'mods' understand and I promise to regain track at the earliest opportunity.
We went into Saigon on a regular basis taking in embassy supplies and the like.
One time we went in we were warned that a Skyraider had just been shot down in the circuit. Rather concentrated the mind !
Brian, the observation domes were removed some time in the 70's. Some were replaced on the tanker and certain SF frames. There will be some pics of the Himalayas along in due course.
