Description
The first draft of 46 RAN men to boost the Australian force in Vietnam has arrived in Saigon. Members of the RAN Helicopter Flight Vietnam (RANHFV), 1st Contingent, will work with the US Army's 135th Assault Helicopter Company at Vung Tau, which has a primary role of supporting the 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF), in Phuoc Tuy Province. At Tan Son Nhut airport, Saigon, unidentified members of RANHFV discuss their new surroundings as they sit in a Chinook helicopter, ready to take off to Vung Tau. They are seated on either side of the helicopter with their luggage between them. One of the suitcases bears the name 'J MOORE', and probably belongs to R58681 Jeffry (not Jeffrey or Jeffery) Moore.
