Great snippet in NZ newspaper about Banaban elder from Rabi

The story about the lost propeller on the Great Barrier Island Trislander reminds Hugh Ragg of a similar event in Fiji. "Some years ago, a pilot friend of mine was flying a Trislander from Savusavu to Suva when the propeller on the tail engine sheared off. There were two passengers on board, an elderly Rabi Islander and a Fijian woman. As he was over the sea, he headed back to Savusavu and told the passengers to put on their life jackets. A few minutes later, he felt a tap on his shoulder and the elderly [Banaban] gentleman asked, 'Shall I jump now?' The pilot managed to convince him it wasn't a parachute he was wearing, and the aircraft landed safely at Savusavu on two engines a few minutes later."

***Would love to know who this Banaban elder was...***
