"Between 1962 and 1968, the Sabre jet fighters of No. 79 Squadron were based at Ubon in Thailand to provide local air defence and support the growing American military involvement in Vietnam. RAAF Airfield Defence Guards patrolled the perimeter of the base, which became a target for guerilla activity as American aircraft flew from Ubon to strike targets in Vietnam." from RAAF Museum: Heritage Gallery text; Forward Defence: Butterworth and Ubon.
