Flew in from Goroka in Cessna - bigger than 172 as there were four of us plus the pilot. The strip was slightly uphill and had drainage strips like chevrons right up the strip, making a very exciting and bumpy landing. I was in the RAAF 38Sqn deployment in Goroka with one Caribou supporting the Australian Army Survey Corps doing a massive mapping program of the highlands. All that was at Keglsugl then was a Patrol Officer's quarters and a few native huts. Took us 24 hours up to Mt Wilhelm and back. Great weather - rained when we camped near the summit and the rain turned to ice as it ran off the tent. I got hypoxia and didn't get right to the top, which the others did in the dark!!
Take off from Keglsugl was a blast. The Cessna shook and bounced as we headed for the end, then we were airborne over a valley a thousand feet below. You don't fly in PNG with a weak heart.

Cessna 172 Territory Airlines. Can't recall the pilots name. A sensational flight ex Goroka, unintended diversion over Ramu River and backtracked slightly west of Mt Wilhelm to locate the 'strip. At the time I believe it was the highest operational airstrip in the world? Re-commenced a three week Agricultural patrol of the Upper Chimbu Valley. On arrival back at Kundiawa flew to Goroka with Bobby Gibbes (former RAAF Wing Commander) of Gibbes Sepik Airways
