Here it is. Sorry about the image quality, it's a video frame. A war crime was committed by the Japanese in March 1942 on the beach not far from where that photo was taken. Craig will have better photos and the latest information. The Kimbe hospital will have radio contact with Gasmata if you needed to contact anybody there.
It's a crying shame that this war relic has been allowed to rot on the side of the runway. Many many years ago when it was still reasonably intact there was an effort to remove it for historical preservation and display in a museum but the locals wouldn't allow it. If I recall the "compensation" they wanted for "looking after it" since the war was an astronomical number. There are many other WW2 aircraft wrecks scattered around the jungles of WNB and ENB waiting to be discovered. I was sent on a job to look for an Australian Beaufighter near Cape Gloucester. The researcher had compiled several eye witness accounts of where it crashed, so they are really confident of its position within 2 or 3km, but it's real tiger country around there and you'd have to be on the ground and step on it to find it.
p.s. You might need to wait for a moderator to OK the photo before you can see it.
