Our ride back from high range on another occasion. I was able to enhance the image on my computer and the number on the nose is 766.
This was taken at Lavarack Barracks July 1972. I notice in the image gallery 766 is shown returning from Vietnam November 1971. HMAS Sydney departed Vietnam 8th December 1971 with most of 4RAR and 9 squadron RAAF. The aircraft arrived Amberley 19th December 1971
