Vietnam Relics of a War !

Post by MacksAviation » Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:33 pm

Just back from a business trip to Vietnam had a few hours off in Ho Chi Minh City so went hunting.

Two relics are at the Independence Palace the Huey on the roof and an F-5 in the gardens.The others are at the War Remnants Museum.

Sorry for the quantity but I hope they are of interest to some. All shot on a small Canon PnS.

Both locations are open to the public for a small fee so no problems with photography apart from lots of people milling about.

Haha Robbo you may mock but......

Glad these have proved interesting sadly I ran out of time to visit the remaining location in the city where there are a few more relics so maybe next time........
