Hi, can anyone please tell me what the US Navy plane on the left is ? It's obviously from the Vietnam war period as it's now in the Hanoi war museum.

It appears to be an Douglas A-1 Skyraider ( im not sure on variant)
I had a link to wiki on it but need to up my post count to post links.
A Skyraider (unknown type or serial number) is on display at the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam as of May 2010.
( I know wiki is not the best for info but its good for pictures I think ).

The one on the right is probably an US Air Force A-1H Skyraider (it could also be a repainted ex-SVNAF A-1) The one of the left is a US Navy A-1, probably A-1E/AD-5). They seem to be in remarkably good condition for shootdowns (no bent props, hardpoints intact), so it wouldn't surprise me they were repainted ex-SVNAF birds.
Please read the forum rules and stop spamming single-line posts to get your post count up. It's against the forum rules to do this. Thanks mate.

It's probably an RAF Vickers VC-10. The four tail-mounted engines are a pretty distinctive recognition feature.
