Good evening Sypho - remember when you threw the rubber snake off the first floor of TAL admin in Goroka - it landed in a group of highland labourers about to depart for Madang. Junior was not very happy as he lost his payload!! Send me a text with your email address 0404111247. Great days and dogfights along the Wahgi Valley.
Best regards, John R

Understand that one John Rutter is still in the land of the living. Haven'y heard of him since C185 days in 1966. Any way that I can contact him?
Spent a lot of time flying in and out of Mendi. 1966-1995. Many scares, lots of memories (some sad - as Jim Millar).

Reply to @Ozguy: Greetings - I lived there in about 1966 - agree with you. Wonder where Graham Syphers is these days. Wonderful memories - cheers, John Rutter. TAL Trainee.

I spent 18 months here flying a 206 in the 70's. Best flying I ever did. Miss it a lot.
