Correct it is Paiela. Thanks a lot Chimbu Warrior.
And thanks also to Chimbu Chuckles for directing me to the thread.
But youse guys don't play fair !! I've spent the last 34 years thinking it was my sacred duty to imbibe sufficient spak to forget the scary bits and then this happens. Apparently a few rogue brain cells survived despite my application to the process, and this thread has caused all sorts of memories to come hurtling back. Like when you chunder so hard it tries to come out your nose at the same time. (Remember that?)
I thought I was coping until I saw the YouTube clip of the approach to Kanabea. That took me back to my short ( and certainly not illustrious ) tenure at the Catholic Mission of Yule Island. To think that as a 350 hour CPL I was flying into that for the princely sum of $1 a day !
Although to be more specific, it was $1 a day plus all the piss you could drink. Suffice to say, I got my wages by the alternate method.
If my hands stop shaking enough to type, I'll post some stories in due course, but in the meantime I'd be very grateful for a pic of Paiela.
