Going back to PNG for a minute, how many people remember Capt. Larry "Shag" Blackman's 'exploits' at Honiara???
That's something NO ONE forgets!
Does anybody else remember the New Year party at Rabaul (71 or 72) at the home of a TAA F/O? I certainly don't remember much, except for a Captain falling 16ft off the balcony to the driveway, getting up, shaking his head, and coming back for more? Some of those present flew the next day - one Lae Captain and Rabaul F/O I am SURE don't remember how they got to Honiara!
And does anyone else remember going to the mess at Lae, turing the fan on, and being covered in talcum powder? Damn Dave!
