Wokka Wokka Wokka* - UH-1 part 3

The Hueys are now finished, so I took the opportunity offered by a brief burst of summer to photograph them in the Vietnamese jungle which passes for my lawn.
I went for an early sixties look in overall drab with white lettering and a gloss finish.  The glazing was painted in pale blue.  They certainly match my image of Hueys of that era.


* or as some would have us believe "chukka chukka chukka"   But that's just wrong.

    Very tuneful. You can see why the Fuhrer liked it so much.
