Vietnam Trekkas

The most ambitious test for the Trekka came in 1979 when five examples were flown by the RNZAF to South Vietnam.
The Department of External Affairs gifted the Trekkas to a civilian hospital in Qui Nhon where a team of New Zealand medical staff were working.

The Trekkas were used for general transport and occasionally as ambulances in what was to prove a testing environment for them. A chapter of THE TREKKA DYNASTY is devoted to the Vietnam experience.
