Thanks for the probable true circumstances surrounding the DC4 incident. The truth would be somewhat clouded as the raconteur (Capt. B. B.) slagged Forgie as most opportunities over some earlier misdemeanour, and it appears it cost Forgie his job as well as F/O Thomas. It would be interesting to know if Capt Thomas was still with us. Forgie certainly isn't.
I spent quite a few overnights at the old RAAF mess on Manus (Momote) in the 70s & 80s. Our only recreation being drinking the aircraft's bar and hunting coconut crabs!
