One of my cherished memories in the early 1960's was flying on TAA's "Sunbird Service" PBY Catalina from Port Moresby to Samarai, and returning on Beeps ship MV "Bulolo", which carried war honors from WWII.
I wonder what happened to that Cat? It sat at POM airport for years as a toy for the Firies, but heard it later went to NZ for restoration.
