VH-AMS registered 22.07.1969, to P2-AMS on 09.05.1974, crashed at Garaina, 31.07.1974. Think was owned by Lutheran Mission and flown by MAF crews, correct?
Yes, AMS was owned by the Lutheran Mission. Don't know about it being flown by MAF crews - up until I left to join TAL at the end of '71 the pilots were all Lutheran Mission pilots - either LM guys sent out from their local churches or (like me) pilots employed directly by LM. While I was there, we used to fly some of the MAF trips for them (in LM aircraft) out of Mt Hagen. I have a vague recollection that MAF may have taken over the LM operation for them later, but can't be sure.
