World Wide

Aviation is such a small world. I was with World WIDE late 50's in Pt. Moresby when the S-58's arrived in large crates, we also had a Catalina. Bob Wilson, Frank Minjoy, Bob Larder, Frank Tarr, Bruce Evans, Joe Clarke, Jin Dean were a few of my co-workers. We took 2 amphibious Catalinas to Chittagong (East Pakistan then) That is where I met Doc. Watson (refer his post) After Chittagong I went to Seria to the S-55's, ( John Woods the boss, Andy McLeod C/E, Jack Greer, Rudi Cortenbach to name a few, then later back to Port Moresby and the Catalina (Whisky Charlie). I left WWAS in 1960 to start a flight engineer career but that is another story.
