2 -ACV 901 was being used, after irreparable damage to its lift propeller and housing, to scavenge parts for the other two operational ACVs
3 - ACV 903 sitting on jacks getting its nose skirt repaired
4 - ACV 902 rest on the ground in operation trim. 902 was the only ACV with a bow mounted grenade launcher

All views are generally north to northwest - February 1969
