MAL/64/0104/10 Accession Number: MAL/64/0104/10

Description

A party of RAAF men from Vung Tau were invited to visit a Buddhist temple after some of them had shown an interest in the huge white figure of Buddha which dominates a hill near the town. Because of the local rule that all RAAF men must be armed, or be accompanied by other armed men, an assortment of uniforms and civilian clothes, arms and cameras were seen at the temple. Four RAAF men make the most of the visit to the Buddhist temple by taking plenty of photographs. Identified from left: Leading Aircraftman (LAC)Gordon Hynes, aircraft metal worker of Margate Tas; 5279 Corporal (Cpl) John Kenneth Murray, general fitter of Sandgate Brisbane, Qld; 219846 L AC John William McDougall, engine fitter of Revesby, NSW and 19982 LAC Brian Thomas Lawrence, engine fitter of Maryborough, Qld.
