Hi all

Love that photo of the Corsair's. When I saw it I thought of Wewak. I lived there as a child. I remember talking to an ex WW2 pilot who bombed Wewak in a corsair with RNZAF. I dont know where he was based. Loved Wewak. I remember finding all kinds of WW2 junk lying around our property. My sister and I are looking at going back to PNG for a visit at some stage in the near future. We lived on Kreer hights which I was told was used as a POW camp by the Japs. We used to play on a jap search light that I think was pulled out of the bush down the hill from our house.

Regards
