Pinky, I'm sure P2-SAB was a Cessna 402B ex Sepik Air Charter acquired by Talair when it took over that charter company. Last seen P2-SAB disappeared into the Ramu River (I forget the strip it ran off the end of whilst overweight) maybe in the mid 1970s, never to be found. Nine POB from memory, all got wet except the pilot...........

I thought Biscuit Ears (Douglas) had the oldest Bongo Van in this part of the world? I think it may have been VH-AIA (or similar rego??) that won it's class in the 1968 London to Sydney Air Race?
