'76 Panga PNG Tour

panga

 

This route takes us along New Britain to Bougainville using airfields served by Panga Airways in ‘76. 

 

The flights set off from Lae and ends at Wakunai. At the time Panga Airways used Britten-Norman Islanders and also Cessna 402 aircraft. Beyond that there is little information available on this little airline.
