Don't know where it is now, but around Independence time an expat with a senior guvmin position used to fly it around a fair bit on some sort of building inspections, and I believe it was he who had a suddenly silent fan and made a successful ditching close to the beach on the north coast somewhere, from whence it was successfully recovered, I understand.

I'm being deliberately vague on details as one of the guys (may still be alive) who used to hire it went to gaol in Moresby for fraud involving building material supplied as a grand gesture to a club to which he belonged, the club unaware of the fraud involved: but spent some goodly part of his clink time actually flying the head sherang from the prison around the country on 'business' - so I'm told.
Only the names have been withheld to protect the guilty.
Great way to pass your 'time'
