Would that have been James Blume?
He has a highly modified C185, ex Talair, kept at Wau. P2-SEQ
The aircraft may well be dismantled as James left PNG, a few years ago. He is elderly and his wife if still alive was suffering I think from dementia.
Jim is/was trying to place the aircraft in a box and return the machine to USA.
I was at one time trying to buy the C185; alas not for sale .
I last communicated with Jim approx 18 months ago.
