Default Security was an issue for the Marines

So they confiscated all the cameras from the locals, and returned them without the film. Sadly there are few pics of the actual landing.
These three pics are from the web, "Historic Pictures."

The first is looking Eastwards towards Mahia Peninsula
Next is looking southwards into northern Hawke Bay
Last is looking westwards towards the hill above Opoutama

There is a fourth in the series showing an International with lifting jib in the surf.
