Here is how she ended her days in PNG with the fella Taildragger bought her from at the controls. The recovery from the western province and subsequent shipping to the UK and restoration is a story I'll leave for Taily to tell. P2-DEQ/G-BTSM was the very first aircraft I flew in PNG with the then (pictured) owner, a top fella who was the DPI Vet and a keen PPL, on about day three in the country while I was studying for my air leg exam and staying with him in Moresby. We went out to the low level training area WNW from Moresby and chased locals...like trying to herd cats but a **** of a lot of fun.
Taily I'll be in London this coming Wed/Thurs and again in the last half of the month if you're back from Oshkosh. We may
need to go out to White Waltham and drink that terrible warm piss the Poms call 'beer'...Taily is a Scot so I am not insulting him
