Description
Four Iroquois helicopters from 9 Squadron flying in a tight formation approaching a landing zone (LZ) to pick up Australian troops to be carried back to Nui Dat at the end of an operation. 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.
