It's a long list. And that's only the fatals. What about the wrecked and written off's without fatalities - it must go for several pages!

Like many others on this thread, I knew and flew with many of these pilots. I knew the pilots of GKG, ATF,CSB and SPM during the period 65-70.

When I was a didiman based in the Madang District, I spent time in Bogia, Kar Kar, Aiome and Simbai. On a walk from Aiome up to Simbai in 62, we passed the wreckage of the Cessna 170, (BVH) accident from Oct 1961. It is down in the creekbank pitpit at a location known as Warabung - not Aiome as shown, as it's probably closer to Simbai. It's up a blind valley - past the saddle where you change over into the lower Simbai valley.

Sobering reflections.
