Despite nearly total devestation of communications with the outside world, word of the Agadir earth quake reached the U.S. Navy at NAS Port Lyautey at 7:30 AM the next morning, March 1, 1960. Swift action resulted in a massive effort to provide relief for the stricken city. The excerpt below from the Lyautey Log details the prompt response by the U.S. Navy,which sent aircraft and personnel from Port Lyautey, including those of VR-24.
The photos on this page are, except where otherwise credited, also from the 11 March 1960 issue of the Lyautey Log.
Anyone who has photos, stories,and/or material they wish to share is encouraged to send them to Dick Prather, editor of the VR-24 website.
