Tinpis, you don't give us much of a chance with such limited scenery, but I'm guessing Samberigi.

Only went there once, in '79, so memory is not that good. Had more grass on it when I was there.

Nah...not that one chimbu was that a regular DCA strip or god botherer?

With the cockroachs still onnit

FTDK,

looks like the northern side if magnetic island

How about these?

Somewhat more modern than some of the others. That is, modern, in terms of when the photo was taken.

FTDK,

I agree with Bang Bus, looks like the north/northeast side of Magnetic Island with Horseshoe bay (I think its called) just around the corner of the island and YBTL in the background.

Tracked an inadvertant beacon to a point just to the left of the cloud. Ended up being on a jetski stored in a shed....ah trivia!!:ok:

Sarcs and Bang Bus - Sorry guys, I can see the similarities, but you're about 65 nm out!

Hey XXX

1. Tokua
2. Madang
3. Mt Hagen
4. Wrecks are west of Madang at Alexishaven


So how did I score:E

J:ok:

It was Pimaga Chimbu,its doesnt seem t be there now? :uhoh:

Well FTDK guess I got that wrong:ugh:, I'll guess again with Goold Island near Hichinbrook Island? A lovely neck of the woods I might add!

..... and if I tell you it is not an island ?

Dr :8

Then I would say is it looking west at Station hill south of the burdekin river

Try Cape Upstart! :ok:

.... and you'd be correct!

Guess ya had to crack one eventually, huh!

Dr :8

Pimaga was there in the 80s/90s tin...been there a time or 10...but I am led to believe a LOT of strips have closed in the last 10 years due to da PNG Guvman revoking the rural assistance grants that use to 'maintain' them.

So, am I to take it that no-one can recognise where the piccy I posted on the previous page was taken??:confused:

C'mon Chuck! I know that you've been there more times than I have!!

My claim to fame for this particular strip was the time I had to fly a group of heavily armed Police into the place where they were to carry out an operation to rid the area of a raskol problem!:eek:

A week later I had to fly in a resupply flight of food (and ammunition!)
That's another story!:uhoh:

Kerau? ........
