Marienburg in the East Sepik was interesting as it was about 400 metres but had a small hillock about a third of the way along it which also had a 45 degree or so change of direction at the same point. The Wirui Air Service Do 27 main gear struts had long oleos and invariably the outside one would collapse going round the corner and the 'list' while on the ground was pronounced.
