Description
Above film was shot on Operation Track Duster, an armoured/infantry operation near Thai Thien, 15 miles north west of Nui Dat, as APCs and Centurion tanks moved into a night ambush position along a waterway in Phuoc Tuy province. Ambush was not sprung during the night but film could be used as stock film of tanks/APCs in Vietnam. Operation is Track Duster - during which more than 40 ton of rice has been captured in the past week. (Also identified: Captain Bill Regtop of Perth, WA, crew commander; Craftsman Andy Ross of Geelong, Vic, tank driver.)
