Corkey - Glad to see Sarge and mine efforts at Alabaster were not wasted -even though it didn't rate a mention in the NZ CPA news letter
Does this mean I have ta post links to those vids again?
P2-AWM was the first aeroplane I ever owned - a 1961 C185.
Fella on the left is Tommy Emmanuel who I met at a Jazz festival in Moresby - he asked what I did in PNG - told him - turns out his Dad was a pilot in PNG in WW2 and was shot down (survived wounded) near Kokoda Gap - I suggested he might like to come for a fly along the Kokoda trail - we landed at Manari, Efogi and Kokoda - he met lots of villagers (he couldn't quite comprehend that they were SDA and music was against their religion) and we walked along the trail for an hour or so at each place. To say it blew him away would be a GROSS understatement, we have been friends ever since. fella on the right posts here as Taildragger and, until recently owned a beautiful 1956 C180 that now resides near Wanaka, ZK- TSM.
ZK-TSM when I was flying it from time to time on LHR layovers - before Taildragger sold it
I have almost forgiven you Taildragger
