Some slides scanned from my Father-in-law. Probably around 1974, as it also had plenty of slides from the Brisbane flood. He was working central Queensland & PNG at the time.

Great shots volumex. The bottom DC3 picture is at Goroka airport PNG highlands (Kaw Kaw gap in the ranges just above the rear air stair) and the one below that with the two fellas looking over the fence looks to be Mt Hagen airport PNG.

First shot could be Madang.

Well before 1974, has to be prior to the formation of Air Niugini in 1972. My guess the second last photo of the Navajo, Skyvan and Patair DC3 at Port Moresby could be the late 1960s?
The C336 is VH-GKY I suspect. I think that is the aircraft Fris has at the Queensland Air Museum?
My guess: first photo Madang; second photo unknown; third photo Goroka; fourth photo Port Moresby; fifth photo unknown.
The Lear 24D registration VH-SBC has an interesting history and PNG connection. It was originally carried by a TAA DC3 (C47A) in PNG and is now carried by a Kavanagh hot air balloon. The Lear 24D belonged to the Swan Brewery Company up to the early 1970s. I have seen that Lear in Port Moresby in the late 1960s when Swan and San Miguel were in partnership and built the brewery at Boroko or Gordon's.

Ooops. Finger trouble!
I see VH-SBC is now a Robinson R44.

The Swan Brewery Lear VH-SBC also participated in the airlift out of Darwin after Cyclone Tracy.

Hangars in the background are the give-away; Jaba is correct.

I think Brisbane in correct - still going through his slides.
This one was taken in the US, but I have no idea where.
The blimp doesn't excite me too much, but look at the planes in the background.
