A question of the New Guinea hands.
Anyone have any idea when the Salamaua airport closed down?
Dad worked for Burns Philp there for a number of years prior to the war, and on the outbreak remained for the duration, being a member of the NGVR. Mum (to be, they married two years later) worked there for Burns Philp as well, for three months, prior to being evacuated by a Junkers 31. Never been in country, but wouldn't mind a nostalgic trip to Salamaua to see where the family had its beginnings.
