PNG Ples Bilong Tok Tok

Woomera , At the reunion I was with Gerd Franks, and Neil Williams,
There was isolated shots taken but no one, appeared to get group shots.
Re the Dragon, I mentioned it in the Spencer Books, but to my memory
it was still there when I went to Lae in mid 60. It was very stark, the fuse
was upright against the hangar wall , the wings beside it. No idea where
the gear and engines were.Bill Johns was at the reunion, had a short talk with him. My son had a short time in Moresby, on the Citation that was
on lease to MBA, and I gather is still there but now operating by itself.
Before arriving in PNG I was a friend of Noel Peacock that early in the 50s
had a bad one in a Dragon on the ridges to the west of goroka, he was shipped south for medical attention, he ended up flying in Canada on the
Dew line Radar instalation. It could have been AOG that he was in, will contact him and get the facts. Bill S
