AN aircraft that took part in the Vietnam war is flying into Hampshire today for the start of a three-day show.
Huey 509 will be one of the star attractions at Trucks & Troops, which is being held at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
The 36-year-old aircraft is said to be the only privately owned Huey that saw service in Vietnam and is still airworthy.
