There was a story a long time ago about Glichfield ( ex RAN Fleet Air Arm ) enroute Lae-Rabaul in a TN DC3 , sighting the British aircraft carrier HMS Hermes heading for SEATO exercises in the Bismarck Sea.
To the horror of his F/O ( possibly Mardling ), and the vessel , he performed a missed approach then cleared out due to too many Buccaneers in the circuit.
May not be entirely correct but made a great talking point in the old TAA mess in Lae.
