VH-SAB was an amphibious Cessna 402, last seen floating down the Ramu River around 35 years ago
In late 1991 P2-SAB was a Bongo van (ex DZ P2-DNV...I think) which was operated by Richard Rowe's Simbu Aviation out of Moresby. The last I remember of it was where I left it, sitting on the tarmac outside of Yorky Mendoza's hangar minus the right hand engine which had failed shortly after reaching cruise altitude departing Kamulai.

When the cowling was removed from the engine, there was a loud clang as one of the cylinders, complete with piston still inside it, fell off the engine and rolled around on the tarmac.
