Thought this may be of interest to some of our members, image courtesy of Google Earth.
Took me a while to find our old domestic area, things have changed a bit since 1967.

Where is the spot where the sniper used to shoot at aircraft.

We were told they did not take him out, because he never hit anything.

I suppose they were worried he might be replaced by one who could shoot

Regards

This is quite timely as I have just added an album dedicated to 2 Squadron's service in Vietnam 1967 to 1971

Col,
I don't know if it is the same person but there was reportedly someone in an area called the Strip ( bottom left of pic) an area of ill repute ( I never went there ) that was taking pot shots.

Martin,
I must have been reading your mind, nice work.
I have a few relevant pics I will upload for you.

Rod.

Thanks Rod,

You can see how much larger the airfield complex once was pretty clearly in that image.
