English: RAAF Iroquois helicopter, A2-1022, from No 9 Squadron made a forced landing on 11 May 1967, in a supply point about 500 yards from the squadron's helipad at Vung Tau. The pilot O317046 Flight Lieutenant (Flt Lt) Edward Frederick (Ted) Munday, of Fairlight, NSW, had little control of the aircraft as it plummeted earthwards, but managed to get it down without any injury to the crew. The crew was A32932 Corporal (Cpl) William Rex (Bill) Harrington, of West Ryde, NSW, crewman and gunner; A223382 Leading Aircraftman (LAC) Thomas Barry (Tom) Farr, of Bathurst, NSW, crewman and gunner; Flt Lt Munday, the captain of the aircraft and O310798 Flight Lieutenant (Flt Lt) Philip Kenneth (Phil) Cooke, co-pilot of Watson, ACT. It struck the ground and was extensively damaged when the main rotor struck the tail boom.
