FB, you are doing a wonderful job of posting pictures here we all love to see. I loved flying around the islands, although you appear to have spent a lot more time than I.

Hey Jaba, do yourself a favour and get a copy of FBs PNG DVDs; I've been glued to the computer for the past week working through his pix & home movie collection (and its not even porn!
). Bloody fascinating and amazing stuff. Thanks again FB!!

Not TOO many hours PNG, for this FB. Some, thats all, but would like to get back up that way again.. Did about 13,000 hours, or two thirds of my twin time in a decade and a half round the Islands....
40 S - If you mean Wilson Willi.., he hasn't flown for a long time - runs shops and flys up and down to Aus a fair bit.. Then there was Wilson Mal..., the footballer, and Wilson Ne., both Travel men.
Further east, Faleolo - Samoa
Tyre change in Fiji

Forkie that's what you call extreme airpower there, .
I dare say it may even be all the pilots that the RNZAF has left as well,

FB,
I love your pictures. I would love to sit down with a beer or 2 and hear your stories and see your amazing pictures.
Yes, the 1st Wilson was correct. I met him when he was just learning to fly, although I have heard it was not his ideal career
I was at FJ on the 737 and loved it and still stay intouch with many good friends from there. A great airline full of wonderful pilots. Maybe not PH
Its so good to see a person who has documented flying so well. I wish I had.
Well done

eastern Marovo Lagoon, Sege airstrip in bottom right corner
The prettiest and smartest girls (the last ones in..)
got to sit in the front seat of the Barons..
What would have been better than a Baron, when searching for drifting canoes with a broken outboard motor and no paddles..

Rhodesia - thats an interesting handle - we have an instructor here, Russell, who did his National Service there. Must ask if he has any from then..
Looking forward to more crystal clear shots, instead of my 20 and 30 year old, bottom-of-the-navbag-disposable-compact-with-the-poor-lens, ones..

FB, I was born (1977) and raised out in Rhodesia moved over to the UK once the old country went belly up but never found the Northern Hemisphere a home so I shipped out to Aus and now have made my home here in Godszone.
Any way enough of that, I'm loving all the pics on here and the more nostalgic the better the more of a story behind it
I've been sent a load of pics from my Uncle and his oppo's from the civil war days, I'll ask if I can post them up here.
