The only thing I would add to Torres comments aircabbie is that the only reason most of us were in PNG at the time was because we HAD to be there


Apart from TatTAAs and Ansett there was nothing much of an industry in Oz

KWANAS god bless em came up to PNG about 1971 I think it was on a recruiting drive. PNG pilots got the right stuff for them they said
We were all excited as buggery and reckoned we were in like Flynn

As soon as the KWANAS neddy got back to Oz they retrenched about 400 pilots I think it was and kept em on a string for maybe about ten years?

Humbly apologised to Junior for telling him to stick his job up his @rse
