My parents, Jim and Glady Dean, founded the SIL mission at Ukarumpa in '55 -'56. I loved this video! To me, it is like flying into my hometown. We went to a one room school in Aiyura, taught by Mrs. Ancie Schindler, wife of the then-manager, Aub, who was a decorated Australian war veteran. David Carne who wrote the comment below was a childhood friend, and his parents ran the "Ag. Station" at Aiyura for many years as well. For more vid from PNG, check out my channel. - Timothy Dean
Timothy--you should check out the Ukarumpa facebook page. Lots of memories there.

Loved it! The fish ponds are still there on the right and the bank we stood on and got blasted by the propeller drafts

Wow. That brought back some memories. Lost count of how many times I flew in and out of there. Spent 18 years there.

Boy that brings back some memories. I remember flying into Aiyura for the first time in 2005. Can't wait to get back there.
