We were the same age - I was in PNG for about 5 years with the Housing Commission - I can still see Brian heading to my desk - checking out where we might have a beer after work.
I left PNG shortly before Brian's crash - I think I read somewhere that he aborted a landing because of people or pigs on the strip - not sure about that - others on this forum would know more.
One of our mutual friends - Brain Aldrich - is still in PNG - AKT associates - his email is
[email protected] - I am sure he would be only too pleased to let you have his thoughts

Thanks Des, I really appreciate your thoughts and the contacts for Brian. I will try him. Yes it seems that villagers were in the strip from what I've heard. But I can see how many accidents have occurred in PNG and the dangers of flying. If you thinking of anything else about him, let me know.
Cheers, Kate
