Caribou Profile

Caribou in Profile
Lithographic Print or Giclee print.

"This image was created as a tribute to the five decades of service of the DHC-4 Caribou to the Australian Defence Force. Sponsored by Australian Aerospace, it is a limited edition created for the farewell celebrations."

"The Caribou was chosen as the replacement to the C-47/DC-3 Skytrain/Dakota in 1964 and immediately began proving itself as a reliable tactical transport in Vietnam where it worked with the 1st Australian Task Force and operated by RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam (RFTV) which became No 35 Squadron."

"Both aircraft here are examples from No 38 Squadron based in Queensland"
