Before it was upgraded it had a 48 hour 2 inches of rain limit, with Avril Croft [chief justice’s daughter, later murdered on her yacht.]as NPP and all the grog on so board they kept quiet about the storm that had dropped 4 ˝ inches since I left Moresby. It was like landing in a tunnel with the mud and water thrown up from the wheels.
Just interested Gus, what was Avril Croft doing on board, she was a flight attendant with Pat Air and didn't fly on Stolair aircraft.? Further more, Avril's father was a quantity surveyor with the public works department, not a Chief Justice. You are correct about her sad demise though.
I also shared your experience at Kiunga and the Star Mountains it was quite a place.
