    ABOUT
    THE DESIGN

    RAAF acquired eight Bell Iroquois UH-1B Huey helicopters in 1961. A unique version of the ubiquitous UH-1B Huey helicopter (in Australia identified as 'Bushranger') was converted to gunships by 9 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force during the Vietnam War.

    9 Squadron's role was to support the First Australian Task Force (1ATF) in seeking out and destroying the Viet Cong. 1ATF consisted of infantry battalions plus support troops-engineers, signals, artillery, armoured and medical. The Bushranger provided the RAAF with the firepower to escort their medical evacuation operations, along with the ability to directly support the infantry; many soldiers, not only Australians, owe their lives to the bravery of the Huey crews.

    Armed with two fixed forward-firing M134 7.62 mm miniguns and a 7-round rocket pod on each side. In addition, the aircrew was armed with twin M60 flexible mounts in each door. The helicopters featured a simple and very effective air weapons system created through typical Australian ingenuity. The last of the Huey helicopters were retired on 21 September 2007.

    I flew on Bushranger Gunships during two tours of Vietnam with 9 SQN RAAF. Dire Straits actually provided the Brothers In Arms track for the theme of the 9 SQN documentary. The Squadron was and still is the most highly decorated unit post WW11. It would be terrific if you could add A BAND OF BROTHERS to the shirt. We are getting few on the ground now. I am third from the right in the group photograph and front and center in front of Albatross 0Vietnam 1969.
