BBC iPlayer - Storyville - 2015-2016: 2. Last Days in Vietnam
I imagine there were as many former Marines who claimed to be the last man on the helicopter leaving the Embassy roof as there were British squaddies claiming to have been the second man on the balcony.
I remember watching TV footage of sailors heaving UH1's over the side.
This documentary has first hand accounts from a host of people who were there.
Including the last Marine out.
Sad stuff, worth a watch if the link works.
Suspect it aired Your side last year to coincide with the (gulp) 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon.
