NG air crash

In November seven men were killed in Papua-New Guinea’s worst air crash in 17 years when a Beech Baron aircraft, owned by Territory Airlines, crashed seconds after take-off from Goroka. Six of those on board were killed instantly and the seventh died shortly after.

All were members of the Madang Apex Club on a visit to Goroka for the Apex-sponsored Gumi racing event (river racing in an inflated inner tube). Those killed were Messrs. Ken Wilton, Darrel Cadman, Ray Castles, Trevor McGlinchey, Des Rowe, Herman Conrads and lan Oliver, the pilot.
