I found this Forum after MH370 disappeared, then discovered this PNG Thread.

I was in PNG from Dec '74 (just before Tracey bombed Darwin) until about March '79. ATC, initially in Goroka Tower, then Madang, Lae and Nadzab when it re-opened.

I recognise many names and a couple of Nom-de-Nets, especially Two Dogs, g'day Paul (many mis-spent evenings with you around a pool table in Goroka).

Both our kids were born in PNG, one in Goroka and the other in Lae.

Anyway, reading this great thread has spurred me into scanning some slides. Here are some of a GAF Nomad prang at Nadzab in 1978 . I'm sure it was the infamous tail plane stall.

I'll will go through all my slides and get some up that are appropriate in the fullness of time.













Regards to all

Stephen
