BVG Mission plane, Cessna 185

ContributorCochrane, Percy, 1907-1980 Cochrane, RenataDate1944-1966DescriptionPhotograph of BVG Mission aeroplane, Cessna 185. It carries five passengers or 1200lbs. The plane makes a trip every day to the highlands from Madang, the nearest coastal town- about 160 miles away. Since there are no roads into the Mission, all goods must be flown in. It costs ten cents per pound of weight that is brought in. It costs ten dollars just to fly a bag of cement into the missions. A gallon of petrol in Mendi is $1.08.SubjectPapua New GuineaSocial conditionsManners and customsCatholic Church – MissionsCollection NameCochrane Papua New Guinea collection : Catholic MissionsRightsThis item by University of Wollongong Library is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Australia License.SourceUniversity of Wollongong Archives, collection D160/13/201Item IDD160/13/201Collection IDD160GeoTagnot specified
