N9968F Civil Defence, Houma, LA. Dates  Unknown.

Note: The marks, N9968F, were poorly applied and it clearly spent virtually 10 years with it daubed on It is doubted that the marks were ever really registered properly. It was almost certainly only a reservation at best - probably no proper paperwork.
