Australia had the F4's as well Lenn before going over to the F111's

The F4's are still a great looking fighter.

Late 60's until 71 I was in college and part of that time I was working the night shift at FMC helping build M113 personnel carriers as shown a couple of times there in your video. Just a machinist's helper, on the burr bench mostly, though I did do some drill, ream and tap type operations on transmission and steering clutch housings and other such things as well.

Australians in Action - Vietnam War

This would have been early in the war as most of the troopers still have the FN SLR 7.62mm and 9mm Owen submachine guns.
