Sixties
The original is hundreds of two to twenty second quick clips taken over two years.
I collected disjointed clips into some semblance of order, so you'll see the wrong type of wing in some aerial shots from the aircraft type that taxis.
You've done a great job - keep it up!
I recall meeting Bertie Heath, then in his 80's and owrking in SP's advertising [Read 'giveaways'] store at the Brewery in Lae. This was in the early '70's and he was in his 80's at the time. Still driving arounf Lae in a small Morris car with a bottle of Red Mill Rum on the passenger seat.
Berties is credited, in, I think, 'Wings Of Gold' with flying one of the top tumbler shafts for a Bulolo Gold Dredge from Salamaua to Bulolo. It weighed so much that he had to fly in the early morning, on a clear day and measure his fuel with a kettle or teacup in order to minimise weight to clear the hills.
There are photos of this tumbler shaft being loaded through the roof on the aircraft.
Fascinating times and your upload do help preserve them.
Cheers
