PX - P2-ANQ via Papua New Guinea [ Home Page | Trevor | Geraldine | Tara & Ashley | Simulai | Gadoeno | Tasiana | Family Index | PNG Index | Site Map ]

P2-ANQ has undergone several washing and tidy ups during its life stuck on poles opposite Air Niugini's Head Office at Seven-Mile, Port Moresby. The last major restoration, before July 2007, was carried out by AIR NIUGINI Engineering Workshops in December 1986

In July 2007 it was lifted down and a complete refurbishment was carried out. Here are some of the initial pictures. I have heard of long flights but this one has been in the air longer than most planes and was in need of a new paint job.

About to touchdown after many years in the air
