If I remember correctly didn't the last guy who tried to depart 32L with the brakes on finish up on 38Sqn(?) tarmac? ... and he wasn't found in Boroko Haus sik. Airsafety found him sitting in the loungeroom of a certain ATC(name withheld to protect the guilty) at Jacksons, with a cold greenie in his hand...administered for medicinal purposes of course.....,
Also, I was there when they fished Max out of the briny in Lae and de-briefed him. If memory serves me he only lost ONE of his boots ... and boy was he pissed off.
The most amusing aspect of that prang was when his passenger tried to swim over to Max only to be told not too politely "F#$% off and keep yer distance ...yer head is bleeding and you'll attract the sharks"...or words to that effect.
Very comforting words considering Billy was probably still in shock from the prang.
