An aerial view as we arrive and the aircraft on the ground as we remove wings and prepare to haul it out.

We get a call that an O1 Bird Dog was down at a fire-base and we were to retrieve it.

Our two aircraft land and we access the situation.

OK here’s one with pictures. Phu Loi March 1970. 539th Trans. Co.

Our mission was to collect from the field aircraft that had been shot down or gone down due to mechanical reasons. We were a team of two aircraft, the Chinook to lift the downed aircraft and the Huey to carry the team that secured the area and rigged the downed machine.

64 magnetos on it as I recall! How long would a mag check take?

Not a personal one on one meeting, but 40+ years ago I was at an airshow at Cottesmore, Douglas Bader flew in, in a light a/c and Johnny Johnson, who was the station commander at the time, came out to greet him, all this happened a few feet away, right in front of me, I witnessed the famous Bader leg swing out the cockpit.
Does this count.

I was there that day too!

I found this poem about the RAF in a Dunkirk POW’s Red Cross “Wartime Log.”

They are – I handled these plates back in 2006 when the image archive was in its infancy. I might have scanned one or two of the Mildenhall ones above as well.

What’s your connection, David?

As I stated earlier, I recieved these photographs in an e mail and decided they were too good not to share.

The e mail stated their source as “Photos courtesy of Julio Blake Flores, Santiago, Chile.”

[QUOTE=Wyvernfan;1789533]Interesting vid. Didn’t realise she was ex Sibson and once fairly close to home!

As I recall there were two at Sibson when I jumped there mid 80’s.

Does anyone know what happened to the other one?
