No photo's..apart from what's in my mind, but I worked for TAA in Goroka as a bag snatcher from early 1966 to midish '67 while I was learning to fly. I remember we started getting twotters into Goroka (and still DC-3's, and then F-27's) from around early 1967. I looked up www.seabee.info/dhc6/dhc6-prod and saw that TAA's first twin otter was ser/no 6 and was delivered in July 1966, their 2nd was ser/no 8. So they were early users. If I remember, most of the twin otter drivers came from the Lae based DC-3 First officer's pool. Correct me if I'm wrong someone!
