".......Mt Hagen airstrip (Cornfield or similar name) to pick up two injured RAAF pilots who had crashed their Caribou after a botched up go-around somewhere in the mountains."
The Mt Hagen airport is at Kagamuga. I'm guessing that DHC4 accident would be A4-147 that was written off beyond repair in a landing accident at Tapini 6 October 1969? The RAAF cdertainly broke a few Caribou in PNG!

I rather think the HS748 would have been a good aircraft for PNG?
