G'Day Chuck. Wet the bed this morning?

I didn't think Provincial ever operated Tristars? Thought they only had three Gomads in the rego series VH/P2-IA_? I'm sure only Bikkies had Trislanders in PNG?

The C402 amphibian was P2-SAB - which should have been P2-SUB! You may recall Capt Mike didn't even get wet!

Well I remember the flying brick at Bougair. Your story is almost correct - they sent a "Consultant" overseas to buy a Twotter but forgot to give him a picture. True story - I remember the guy well. I don't think the Bougair Skyvan ever had two engines and two U/C legs installed all at the same time. I recall seeing it being painted with house paint and a brush. Waste of good house paint!

Sorry to hijack your thread GAMAN.
