Duck Pilot; Why don't you investigate the possibilities of turning all that into a proper documentary?

I should think that there would be some TV production Company somewhere who may be interested.

There have been times when I really wish that I had a Video Camera in my taim bilong PNG. They did exist, but they were the bulky things that held the whole VHS cassette.

One of the Brothers at the Catholic Mission in Kerema had some excellent footage of taking off in an Islander, the subsequent feathering of the right hand prop and an assymetric return to Kerema.

The audio quality of the footage was so good that you could even hear, above the sound of the remaining engine operating at 25"/2500rpm, the 'slap' of the pre-landing Checklist tiles being turned down, and the expletives I let go as I completed the checklist!
