No Hanoi! PNM went to Cairns with Bushies.
PNA was found to have massive corrosion in the tail and remained as the fire plaything at Madang. Maybe that was a good thing as Forgie would probably have torn it off with his boot when his dopey F/O couldn't work out which two clouds to steer between when there were half a dozen to chose from and Forg's hand waving (which HE reckoned was pointing) was too flamboyant ... he didn't allow for paralex error, to work out which hole he meant.
The old bugger used to stick cabin attendants to the wall regularly when he rammed a rudder pedal forward.
PNB .. there a couple of photos on http://www.pngaa.net/Photo_Gallery/G...tion_index.htm
of PNB's demise. The murder of PNB occured when the grader tried pulling it back onto the strip and the undercarriage caught on the rock wall below the water surface. When the driver put his foot down he kept it there and stretched the airframe. Can't remember what TAA did with the corpse.

Tinpis holidays is what I'm having in June for a coupla days and will find you and have a few drinks and remember all sorts of things that didn't really happen.
