Tmbstory...nope..I don't remember ever hearing of the 'Chimbu ILS' but I can imagine where it would have been...on the little plateau across the river from the strip where you flew left base.
The tree I was referring to was near Omkalai. I have heard of and used the Tapini ILS but that was a walking track not a tree.

I was actually very angry, I am serious, weird as it seems. I cannot explain it other than to say that the first few times you're wandering along, at about 6-7000', in an area where the MORA is 17000', with that empty feeling in the pit of your stomach (and bowel) in rain, with low cloud all around you...not
really certain where you are... and you spot, through the gloom and rain streaming across the windscreen, that
one landmark that removes that feeling instantly and restores your faith in yourself, it leaves a lasting impression.
if I was flying something armed I'd have rolled in on the village.
