Rolling
Thunder
had the
pleasure
of being
invited
to the
Helicopter
Museum
at
Weston
Super
Mare
here in
the UK
to their
Military
Vehicle
and
Living
History
show.
The
museum
has the
largest
collection
of
Helicopters
in the
world
including
The
Queens
Wessex
Helicopter,
The
world
speed
record
lynx
Helicopter
and the
mighty
Russian
Hind.
As
well as
these
they
also
have a
Loach
and a
UH-1H
which
served
in
Vietnam.
RT put
on a
large
display
of kit
and
equipment
from the
25th
Infantry
and 7th
Air Cav
as well
period
military
vehicles.
Some
of ours
members
also
portrayed
Helicopter
crewmen.
There
was
plenty
of
interest
from
other
re-enactors
as well
as the
public.
We were
also
lucky
enough
to be
allowed
in and
around
the Huey
for
Photographs
as well
as
receiving
lots if
information
about
the
Aircraft.
We also
had the
pleasure
of
meeting
three
new
members
to RT,
good to
meet you
and
thank
you for
joining
guys.
All in
all a
very
enjoyable
weekend,
thank
you to
everyone
at the
Helicopter
museum
for a
great
weekend
and look
forward
to next
years
show.
Our first
photo report
is in BW
2nd photo
report is in
no order and
show the
quality of
our display
and
re-enactors
in full
colour
A subject
not often
seen at
shows is the
ARVN (Army
of the
Republic of
Vietnam)
Now
something
which was
not in the
60/70's is
HDR (high
definition
resolution)
which is a
treatment
that I have
applied on
some of the
above
pictures.
The purists
will not
like
it,
but this
gives the
photos a
very drammatical
look.
