Memories of the mid 1970s! I've done Tanna three times (Lenakel , before Whitegrass was built), Tongoa once; Lamap, twice; Lamen Bay, once; Norsup; once; Valesdir once; and of course Bauerfield; ten times.
@@Pilot_Man_Bushe I'm sorry but I didn't make clear - I'm not a pilot. I was a civil engineer working for the then Condominium and used to travel up and down the group in the course of my work ( sometimes by sea ). I never got further north than Norsup or further south than Tanna so it was nice to see the shots of the strip serving Aneityum. I loved flying in the Islander and the Trislander of Airmel. Thanks for this vid and your walkaround vid.
That’s amazing stuff, Tim!! So cool that you stumbled on my channel. Nothing much has changed here since the New Hebrides days. Are you in Australia? Do you ever come back here for holidays?
@@Pilot_Man_Bushe Hi Sacha. I've lived in the UK since I left the New Hebs 46 years ago and no I've never been back. When I was young and fit enough for the journey I couldn't afford it; now that I can afford it I'm too old and decrepit. By the way, we are told that envy is a sin so if that is the case I am a sinner. I envy you for where you live and what you do for a living. The ideal job!
@@timothyfoster4714 Haha thanks Tim. So cool that you can re-live history through RUclips like this. Glad I was able to make it happen for you. If ever you come back to this part of the world, let me know and we'll have to go for coffee and talk memories. I'm from the Russet family who has been in the New Hebrides / Vanuatu since the 1800's,
That was wonderful. I love that aeroplane.
Thanks for watching! :)
Wow, so you're the Pilot, Gas Man, Maintenance Man and Operations Dude all in one! Wayner in WPG!
Super cool ! Great work. I’m looking forward to getting down there and going for a flight with you !
You can't have too many Islander videos! Great to see real-world operations in remote locations - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. :)
Congrats on the gig! So happy for you!
Thanks Praveen! :)

There are lots of islanders here. They were all flown over.
