I recall El taking DC3 PN? for the big swim off the end of the Madang runway in about '70. That evened up the Ansett and TAA T.P.N.G. fleets as after the acquisition of Patair by Ansett APNG we leased one back to TAA. It was a freighter, no injuries to crew after a hydraulics problem, but the aircraft was a write off.
