A nice photo of another French S-55 in Indochina, this time landing at the Lanessan Hospital in Hanoi with released prisoners of war. The helicopter is listed as lost only nine days later, on 24 July 1954 at Dien Bien Phu, although the fighting there was over. The hospital is now Vietnam's Central Military Hospital 108.
