Description
South Vietnam, c. 1969. A Bell 47G Sioux helicopter of No. 161 Recce Flight, Australian Army, hovers over what may be a Fire Support Base (FSB) under construction in the Vietnamese countryside. A pile of thick timbers like railway sleepers lies on the ground (right), with some tents behind it and a bamboo observation tower at rear. Sheets of corrugated iron lie in an untidy pile (centre, left). A rubber plantation stands in the background. (Donor anonymous) (Original 35mm transparency housed in AWM Archive Store)
