Royal Australian Navy Helicopter Flight Vietnam (RANHFV)

Frank Miles
I interested to learn if any members had contact with Australian Helicopter contingent based in Vung Tau from 1967 to 1972, similar dates to HAL-3.  I'm in contact with ex-service members in Australia and been advised that a new Australian Government inquiry is underway with submission to be forward by 16 June 2017.  The Inquiry is "INTO UNIT RECOGNITION FOR ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY HELICOPTER FLIGHT VIETNAM.

This citation (award) long overdue for this men who supported U.S. Operation in South Vietnam and played a critical role supporting not only Australian troops but our Navy Seals in Mekong Delta Region.

You know it would be great if Seawolve Association President or Secretary could write a submission.  If this isn't possible, than anyone with a story to tell about gallantry of Australians in combat during 1967 to 1972, please forward information to my email address.  (fletch71sf@gmail.com)

This is my first post to Navy Seawolves form.
