Description
A group of West Australian performers have given a show for the men of the RAN Helicopter Flight Vietnam (RANHFV), and the US Army 135th Assault Helicopter Company, at Fire Support Base Black Horse, South Vietnam. The show, which lasted over an hour, was greatly enjoyed by all, however some of the Australian jokes left blank expressions on the faces of the Americans. Here R94290 Electrical Mechanic Air Weapons (EMAW) Michael Stephen 'Polly' Perkins, of Tuart Hill, WA, meets Cheryl Read, of WA, one half of the "Same Day Twins" who performed at the show.
