She had a distinguished career and was retro fitted several times.

I flew in a civilian aircraft to Viet Nam, and spent the best part of a year on a navy base there attached to the Army of all things.<br />I very much enjoyed your photos from back then.

And in some cases they don't even know what right might be......Rod Ivers https://www.blogger.com/profile/11622769861928590585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636111343812044798.post-68269215157649868852010-06-24T16:14:12.134-05:002010-06-24T16:14:12.134-05:00Who was that handsome dude in amongst the photos a...Who was that handsome dude in amongst the photos anyway??
