Stillwater Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Flying across PNG this weekend, Ken´s famous lawn mover came into view again... In Woitape... ... another one in Fane... ... I found the next one in Kosipe... ... and the people in Ononge also have one. Seems to be a good selling item there! But... even after long search I did not find one in Tapini, none in Asimba, and none in Yongai, though the usual fuel drums are there... Anybody out there to help me ?

Ken Hall Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Bingo! You have now uncovered the real reason for air travel in PNG, they all share the same lawnmower, rather than buy more than one they share it and use the twin otter to move it around, that's banana politics for you. nice investigative work backed up buy some very fine screenshots. definitely worthy of the MAGNUM PI AWARD Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... even using the big chopper I could not spot the movers at the other 3 places. Bob will come into play soon... or the Robinson [or, meeting the Magnum PI award, TC´s Bell?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDX Flyer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Having a keen eye for such things, let me complement you on your composition of each shot. You know how to enhance the depth-of-field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings, Bermuda This could be another explanation for the harmonized look. At least spare parts are easy to supply. A request to anyone here: Who can find movers in Tapini, in Asimba and in Yongai? I am convinced there must be some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my investigation was without success at the remaining airstrips - hopefully someone else can find the yellow mover there....!

I have been meaning to change it for ages Gerold as a tribute to the unbelievable effort Eddie Howe and the team have made this year for AFC Bournemouth in the EPL. I never expected them to do as well as they have done and they should be there again next year barring some bizarre results. I went to many games at Bournemouth between 1966 and 1975 when I lived there so they are still one of the first results I look for on a Sunday morning. I hope the avatar stays there for a long time.
