This is one of the 2 Hueys that resupplied the Australian troops at the battle of Long Tan in Vietnam (against orders) https://imgur.com/a/tZ4kkbt It normally lives on the top of a pole at Caloundra RSL, it really ought to be at the War Memorial or somewhere similar. If you watched the movie "Danger close", you'd have seen it there. After living in the open it needs some TLC which we are supplying.

It would be good to have lots of money like Dave Sparks, you could have a flying Huey which he can fly when the Blackhawk is in for a service:-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rm3Zfwd6dk -- Daryl

Certainly it has been powered up and everything seemed to work, but, after sitting on the ground for 6+ years it would need a major service. Daryl, send me an e-mail to keithrrr@gmail.com, I have to stuff that may interest you.
