The gold dredges at Bulolo were designed with the Junkers in mind. The largest dredge component was the tumbler shaft and it was sized with length, width and weight to be carried by the Junkers. I have stood on the deck of those abandoned dredges in dense undergrowth, a moving experience.

There is something strange about the headline photo of 28. There seems to be no inboard wing on the RHS, so it looks asymmetric. I know it is just the photo, but cant is figure out why it looks that way.
