Description
Two unidentified RAAF men from No 5 Airfield Construction Squadron (ACS) (at rear) and two Vietnamese workers shovel sand and gravel into the cement mixer during cementing of the new floor of the Bellman type hangar at Vung Tau, South Vietnam. The hangar itself, originally built in the Second World War, was a disused structure from an airfield at Parkes in central NSW. The hangar was dismantled and shipped to Vietnam to meet the needs of the expanding Australian contingent.
