I am trying to get some information on two fatal accidents in PNG in 1974. One was VH-EFO (206) in March after t/o in Lae, in which the mother and brother of a schoolmate died. The other was VH-AMS (206) in June, climbing at Garaina (I think). Being a 12 year old schoolkid, the grownups at the time probably thought us too young for specific information or didnīt have any themselves. After all those years I am still wondering what really happened.
AMS was an aircraft I had flown in quite often. It was rumoured that it was already burning before it actually impacted. And it was also rumoured, that there was another pilot on the ground at Garaina, who saw it happen. So if anybody has some information he would share, I would be grateful. On the thread or as PM, to your liking.
