Reminds me of a story from thirty odd years ago..........

Many will remember Jack Thick who owned a timber mill in north Goroka - and, with "Poppa" Raasch recovered the JU52 from Wau after Peter Manser tried to demolish the Qantas office - and the legendary Gillies brothers - Les and Merve.

Les went to Jack's timber mill to buy timber. After eying off Jack's sawn timber, Les suggested to Jack he "...take the timber down to TAL at the airport"

"Why is that, Les?"

"Make bloody good props!"


Then there was Les and Merve's side kick, Sparrow..... who went head first into the sewage pit at the Goroka butcher's shop! Someone suggested his odor was an improvement!

C'mon Animalclub, Hanoi, Sharpie ......... you must have some unbelievably tall stories to add........
