Fiji Air -Heron to Funafuti

I travelled frequently on a Fiji Air Heron (DQ FED) between Nadi and Funafuti during the 1980's. On one trip during the 3 hour flight we had a problem with the tail elevator. After a safe landing on the grass/coral airstrip at Funafuti, the local public works department erected a timber scaffolding around the tail and proceeded with fibreglass repairs. I have an image on my computer picture collection but cannot seem to find a way to attach it to this message-if somebody can let me know how then I will add it.
