60 minutes aired a story on Sunday about an Australian allegedly removing WWII aircraft from PNG through questionable avenues. Shamefull act if what was reported is correct.

Canadian c 130 flew out a variety of a/c recovered from Balalae, Shortland Is
Kate, Zero and ?? Late 70s, early 80s ???

Some later recoveries there caused all sorts of conniptions with the Solomon Is. Was lots of publicity at the time. CWD magazine search needed. Oz bound ?? Or did they never got off the island.??
