P2 CBT

CBT was my first Islander, with Transnuigini Airways (AKA the Frog) in Moresby 92-93. Might be able to rat out some Pics and post them. Anyway the Frog re registered her T something and painted it silver. Shortly after a National Pilot (John someone, nice bloke) had an engine failure after takeoff. There were no Pax but he was killed and the aircraft written off, A sad end to a nice machine. I had left by then so do not know the details, except a rumour that maybe that engine had been changed by someone who may not have been an engineer.
