 The Ha Thanh 2009 Teamhouse was brought to life during

at Beltring, Kent, South of  England.

The Display: represent the corner of the South/East wall from Ha Thanh teamhouse circa 1969/70
and was about 8 by 4 foot square showing two A-104 team members; one on radio watch 
and the other relaxing at one of the tables. 
This was inspired by the photo below  

 
1st Lt Howard G Anders , HA THANH XO

The display was hosted in the "Rolling Thunder, the Vietnam experience" platoon tent 
with other Vietnam displays build by some of my friends. 
The tent was in semi darkness to create an atmosphere, hide the imperfections and plunge 
the public into a different self contained world: Vietnam. 

All uniforms and military equipment showed are genuine period items 
out of my collection and a special sound track was made with 
genuine Vietnam radio traffic and 60's music.

The build: photo diary

The display was be build in my driveway and comprised of three 8x4 panels trimmed to size too fit in the back of my 3/4ton Dodge. Windows had been cut, frames build and the two uprights in the centre of the South wall, fabricated. 
A friend of mine also made the "HA THANH and A-104 " blue curtains.
