A thread where ex PNG geriatrics lapuns and long longs can live in the dim distant past.
Where tall stories are accepted as fact. War stories are applauded. Grab a Brownie, pull up a story and join in a trip down memory lane!!!

(P2 WDL: Page 185 of this thread) Are you sure about the 1975 date? I worked for Gordon Campbell at the Narimo Hotel in 1970, and I thought then that his days of flying were in the past...

I have been trying to find out about Tinpis but no one seems to know his current condition.
His diagnosis goes back maybe four years. His last visit to PPRuNe was on January 3 2016.
Anyone in Darwin in contact with him??
Tinpis is in the Darwin phone directory. Been trying to call his number but it goes to voice mail.

ABC's Foreign Correspondent just did a follow up story, 'Family Matters', on Joe Leahy- son of Mick Leahy, directed by the Bob Connolly. He went back to track down Joe 25 years after he last did a story on him; and it is a sorry story.
Here it is; http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/for...t/NC1602H027S0
Connelly was the director of the 'Highlands Trilogy', also now on ABC Iview; 'First Contact', 'Joe Leahy's Neighbours' and the third installment 'Black Harvest'.
All three are here;
First Contact : ABC iview
Joe Leahy's Neighbours : ABC iview
Black Harvest : ABC iview
Little has changed in 40 years. Fascinating story for all you lapuns!!!!

Joe Leahy is the son of Hagen Dan Leahy. Mick's sons are Richard and Phil.
Dick Smith financed Bob Connolley and Robin Andersons movie "First Contact", which was the first in the trilogy.

tail wheel, you omitted Tim who is also a son of Mick. Richard was the pilot, Phil was the vet who has the chicken business in Zenag whilst Tim is/was the.......supposed entrepreneur.

If you Google the BN2 sales brochure there is a Douglas Airways BN2...P2-DWI or DWA...hard to make out. How old is that photo? Old Divine World balus If it's DWA...you couldn't get better promo material that that.
Anyways...2016 claimed a lot of people... I hate to ask this but are Tinpis and NASA OK?

Different subject. Looking at the PNG register there are very few piston aircraft left operating. NCA pulled out of gulf ports citing supply of avgas and costs. It is reported they have been importing avgas from Poland. Someone point them in the direction of Fiji where fuel is government price controlled (read cheap), shipping costs are less and there are regional free trade agreements. At first glance, avgas is cheaper from Fiji than Poland...just saying...
