Since the RAAF organised surf lifesaving patrols along the North New Guinea coast, many lives have been saved. Within ten days of the formation of this patrol, twelve men were saved in treacherous cross currents. Flight Lieutenant Reg Field of Cronulla, NSW, explains surf rescuing gear to interested New Guinea natives who appeared on the scene to watch RAAF men at practice. The reel was made locally by RAAF personnel.
