Description

An Iroquois helicopter of 9 Squadron, silhouetted against the dawn sun, hovering as it prepares to fly away from the pad at Nui Dat. This is one of a series of stills recording the visit to Vietnam of the Commonwealth Film Unit team of Malcolm Smith, director, Raeburn Trindall, cinematographer and Howard Spry, sound recordist, in early October 1968 to shoot footage to be used in productions for the RAAF Golden Years 50th anniversary celebrations.
