TAA and Qantas had DHC-3 Otters in PNG. I'm sure it is an Otter behind the Norsman.

VH-EAW (Qantas) became VH-SBO (TAA) was a Sea Otter. Aircraft forced to ditch into sea 10 miles west of Samari, Papua New Guinea, April 14, 1961. Salvaged and reduced to spares.

VH-EAY (Qantas) became VH-SBS (TAA) Crashed and written off near Mendi 2 December 1961.

VH-EAZ became VH-SBT

VH-EAX became VH-SBR

The last two DHC-3 Otters are alive and well and still operating in Canada.

I thought of the Otter after I posted..........
