They included Beauforts, P-39s, P-40s, an A-20 and this B-25 The best of them were recovered in 1974, with most going the US - three have since flown again - and a couple to Australia. 41-12442 was one of two retained in PNG and at the time of upload was displayed outside the nearby Aitape Secondary College. The remaining aircraft were bits and pieces that remained on the dump for many years until they too were cleared away. Photo by: Ken Broomhead
