As larpun as the Sharp one. 60's Relic,the Chucklng Chimbu and Torres.
Having a quiet apinun cleaning out the shed, hoping to get rid of some junk.
Found 2 pela books estop. Apologies to Chimbu C, his spelling of the Pidgin is far better than mind, I claim Larpunitis, left PNG over 33 years ago but still regard the years there as a magic learning curve in aviation!! Tru Tok. The above are more Larpun than I, in fact I think they are, Larpuneons,
Back to the thread, on looking thru the DC-3 Ops. Manual, and Engineering notes, No. 48, Mine, dated 1-11-1966, I found some highly technical Questions.
1. What is meant by stoicheometric mixture
2. What is the most dangerous ( thru fire ) a fuel tank full of kerosene or a fuel tank full of petrol.
( who cares I'm out of here )
3. Which plugs front or rear are fitted to the right magneto
I had a quick look at the old manual, so, I am now,not as larpun as some others.
The mind boggles doesn't it, these points are still valid today, but are overshadowed by, Glass, GPS, Auto Land, etc etc etc . But it still comes back to that Time Immemorial Subject, " AIRMANSHIP "
How about we get back to some real funny stories relating to PNG, personal events etc.
Anyway,
Cheers and Apinun Olgeta,

From the Manual.
Question No. 4 is listed below.
4. Is it work or pleasure to go to bed with the Hostie.
( Obviously PLEASURE, for if it was, WORK, the F/O would have to do it!
