Caribou pic esp for Setter

I agree, Stieglitz.

Just confirms the very fragility of a human in a wartime situation… 🙁

Dramatic photo indeed 🙁 .

Sad event, strange to look at, but thanks for sharing. Turbo NZ.

Hi John,

Here’s the pic you required.

WARNING…..
For all of you out there who haven’t seen this before…this photo is very graphic. 🙁
The Caribou was hit by a “friendly” 105mm howitzer shell while coming into land.

Cheers
Chris

Is La Ferte a long way from australia !!!!!!!!!!

Hi Stieglitz

I did such a trip once – it took 27 hours door to airfield in a jumbo !!!

Australia is in ……….. well Australia ( the largish bit at the bottom of the Pacific) and La Ferte is …….well sort of French which is to say in ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, sort of in France ( The Largish bit on the left side of Europe). So no I wouldn’t normally go there on a weekend.

Seriously thanks for your comment I will be in France again this year and I will go to La Ferte and seek out the Vietnam stuff

Kindest Regards
John Parker
