Cessna PNG Attention Tinpis
Yes it was over 60 years ago for me, but some of best aviation memories I have. Before I started into Aviation I was working at International Harvester. A fellow worker was Noel Peacock, who was some before was with TAL, he had a bad one if my memory is right in a Drover at Chimbu. Back problem, was flown south, never to return. Ended up flying as a FO on DC3's on the dewline radar system in Canada. Jnr wrote to him asking to come back to NG. Noel said thank you but no thanks, have a friend who can do the job. Thats how I ended up in TAL. Noel is still a good friend of mine, lives in Sydney with his wife as far as I know is in good health.
