I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts.
But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972
at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine.

This idea:
It is thought to be corruption of the word France but this may be a misconception
If in Khmer we say "Proteh Barang" for France, "Piasa Barang" for French language and "Chunchiet Barang" for French citizen, why the single word Barang as French, that became foreigner/western is a misconception? I would not say that it is a corruption of the word France/French/Western, but I would say that it is the Khmer word for those realities, as in Spanish we say "Francés" (not a "Spanish corruption of Français"), in Italian we say Francese, in English is Frenchman, etc... in Khmer language is Barang...
