We thank James Hollingworth who examined the constructor's plates on a recent visit to Port Moresby. Also added the first of 4 PAC 750XLs identified although still haven't yet tied up its NZ civil reg. with its PNGDF serial

Were 401, 402, 403, 405 all checked? Presumably the latest sighting is now after 01/2016? The Huey preamble also still states: "There are two schools of thought regarding the tie up between PNGDF serials and the original RAAF serials. For the time being both are listed until an inspection of the data plates can be arranged." Andy

Do you have anything on the PAC 750XL acquisition?
