Ian Hodgson
Descol, the last I heard of Ian Hodgson [Biggles], he loaned this plane to a pilot for his honeymoon, and it crashed taking off from Misima. Pilot and bride were okay, but the plane was a writeoff. I heard the plane was uninsured, but he bought another one. That's the last I heard of him, after I left PNG in 1982. Ian was a licensed land surveyor, but I could find no record of his on the Queensland Surveyor's Board Register recently. I had many flights with Ian, who was a very good light aircraft pilot. I felt safe flying with Ian, even in the incidents we experienced. You may be the Irish architect that flew with Ian from Moresby to Birdsville and back? John
