More Memory Joggers From Clarence Dick
(*/*^^*\*)
The Electronic Countermeasures equipment which Clarence worked on were an essential part of the defensive equipment on both the F-105s and B-66s. Here are more of his photos from his tour of duty.
Typical bungalows in Takhli. |
The signals at the Mail Room - You had to be there to appreciate what these meant to the troops. |
Great shot of the Main Gate on the "US" side of the base. One of the neverending convoy of Shell fuel trucks in the background, bringing avfuel to the base. |
The road to town, looking towards town across from the Main Gate. Elderly woman in typical garb for the time. One-baht busses on left. The power lines at left were often festooned with chaff as they were right near the end of the runway. |
Main street downtown, looking towards the train station which would have been on the left at the end of the street. |
A local bus. Come on, GI, you gonna stand there and take pictures or get on? There is still plenty of room! |
