Crowleys/Panga had a 207 P2-DMS working the Huon pennisular hills out of Lae in the mid 70's - much hated by the crew there.
As said, okay from sea level strips but ground hugging in the hot and high.
I had it briefly in Hoskins but refused to do the Bali/Witu sectors! Perhaps that's why they took it back........
A 207 by that rego was in Tasmania in the 80's so perhaps it did survive the PNG experience.
