Reminds of an occasion when based in Wau on the Twin Otter..old RDB, Dennis' first Twotter.
After talking to sooty at Kiantiba via HF I departed Wau and 17 minutes later am approaching overhead (by dead reckoning, long before GPS) at 'a safe height' in solid IMC and driving rain etc. Anyway I called up une petite pussy noir and again asked him for the weather "Emi gutpella tru masta...cloud I stap antap na ples balus i dri moa yet"
At this exact moment the cloud around lights up in a brillliant flash and over the deafening rain I heard the thunder clap
"Kiantiba... yu inap harim balus?" "Em nau masta...mi harim balus I stap antap tru!"
"WELL THAT'S ME YOU MORON!!!"
So I went back to Wau
