A few years ago a handfull of us deadheading home to Cairns from Port Moresby on the last flight of the day, ETD 1830 ish. F/O doing the PA and with his usual slowtalking, somewhat uncultured countryboy accent.
"AH gdevening laydies and genlemen, welcum abord Air Niugini flight XX to Cairns. Our track this evenin takes us south past Osprey Reef, so named because from some angles to actually looks lika Osprey!, which you will see on the left hands side of the aircraft...ohh... no... yas probably won't 'cause it's dark! Well as we discend inta Cairns you should get a luvely view of the lights of the City out the right hand side of the aircraft....well actually it's a little cloudy so yus probably won't. Anyway flight time is expected to be 1 hour 25 so we'll havya disembarking around 8 oclock....thankya.
The guy concerned is a top bloke and we were nearly in stitches in the back...well except for a couple of captains who took PAs, and themselves, way to seriously
