Flying between the islands of Vanuatu can involve some ‘interesting’ manoeuvres to take off & land, but this pilot was pretty laid back once up in the air.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
MudrunnerTD - I knew when ozjeff chose the topic that choosing your 3 entries could keep you awake at nights!
Husky - please could you edit your two posts above so each has only 1 photo in it. More than one per post makes voting at the end of the month impossible. Ta.
