Reminds me of the October '78 crash on take off of RAAF Caribou A4-164 at Eliptamin (AYEL RW 14/32).
They planned Telefomin (AYTE), but miss identified the strip and landed at the short Eliptamin strip. Eliptamin is 10 kms from Telefomin. The aircraft was disassembled and lifted out with a Chinook. It was subsequently returned to service.
The fuselage of A4-164 became a training aid in 1992 and the wings and tail are installed on A4-173 at QAM Caloundra.
