RE That picture

My mate Disco Stu recalls in his dim and dark past landing at a strip very much like this one during the '69 flu epidemic in the highlands. He does stress though he was crewing a UH1B and believes they landed in the parking area at the top of the strip. Their area of op's was south and southwest of Goroka out about 30 or 40 miles. He further remembers standing at the top of the strip in question, looking down it and actually being relieved he was in a helo and not his usual 'Bou.

May not be the same strip though.
