Looks very similar to the kapok (capok) tree I had in my garden in Lae.

Guava tree ?

Em nau QSK? :ok:

Wonder if they ate them or threw them at each other? :hmm:

Guavas. Great trees for climbing in as kids, as even the thin branches wouldn´t snap. :ok: As kids we loved the fruit and could never get enough of them. Unfortunately they never really developed at the elevation of our station (about 6000ft). :{

P2-MFH
 

Aussie. That picture was taken 1987. Unfortunately I have no more information.

It seems that the southern hemisphere is getting ready to hibernate, as it´s been quiet here the last few days. So I´ll do something to change that.
Bulolo 1967. From a bit high altitude and poor quality. Please excuse. :O

Kaiapit, in the Markham valley 1968. Is that still operational or was it closed. Does somebody know? Captain Nomad?

This one should be easy, even if it´s not an arial picture and not on final.....

Kaiapit - not a current airstrip during my time I'm afraid... :(

Last one is Wau - ples bilong mi long 1989.:ok:

Looks flat from that angle doesn't it?! :}

Hey Chuckles, did you ever hike out to the Black Cat pass B-17 wreck site while you were in Wau? One of the most impressive, intact, laying where it finished, remaining WWII crash sites around the place these days. I have always wished I could have had the chance to visit the site at ground level.

Hike out there?

FCK NO!!

I went in a Pacific Helicopters chopper - more than once:ok:

Ha ha! Yes, where would we be without our 'wantok' pilot friends - even the rotary wing kind...! Glad you got to visit - would have been a great day out. :ok:

Had a friend who tried to hike from Wau to Salamaua once. Raskols put an end to that attempt, and he wasn't too keen on making a second attempt either. :(

Black Cat Pass
 

This the one you mean guys.:ok: I hiked out there as a kid on a school outing. Didn´t have any wantok friends with choppers. :{. We actually found one of the single-barrel machineguns and lugged the f......... thing back to school.
