Was there three weeks ago and the basic necessities seem to be covered.

Well done JENKINS. A little known piece of post-WWII history. I got the photo from here:

The caption reads:
Probably Tan Son Nhut, although it might be Bien Hoa.
JENKINS has control.

The caption reads:
Japanese POW's under British supervision repairing the taxiing strip at Saigon airfield, with behind them RAF de Havilland Mosquito aircraft, December 1945

They were there during the dry season (October-April), so they probably were OK.
A little research suggests that the Mossies are PR 34s of 684 Squadron:
