Back in another life we were flying tour groups into Omkalai in the Twin Otter. On one occasion flying in a German tour group (I think "Jungle Jim" (Keith Buxton) may have been the Group leader?), there was a full blown pitched battle going on part way up the strip - sticks, stones, bows and arrows, spears and a lot of yelling.
The fighting stopped long enough for the Otter to land and tour group to alight, then recommenced, observed by the tour group from the top of the strip. On departure, the fighting stopped long enough to leave and I presume commenced after departure.
In those peaceful days, if anyone was hurt in a fight, it was purely accidental.
Back at "The Bird" the Germans asked what it cost to stage a fight and I didn't believe us when we assured them it really was a full blown village fight!
