A fact from Raid on Ban Naden appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 January 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Was the cliff face really 500 metres (high)? That's a huge cliff, but I don't know what that area is like. Is anyone familiar with the terrain? PhilUK (talk) 21:04, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I spent 18 months in Luangprabang, and flew over much of northern Laos. Yes, Phil, such a cliff would not be unusual. Northern Laos is one of this planet's last wild places. Our aviation maps had huge white blanks in them marked "cloud cover precludes cartography".Georgejdorner (talk) 05:10, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
