The Ha
Thanh 2009 Teamhouse was brought to life
during
the War and Peace Military vehicle
show
at Beltring, Kent, South of England. www.warandpeace.uk.com/
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

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.
