Benedict Allen is missing in Papua New Guinea at present.

As someone who lived in Papua New Guinea for 10 years, I would like to say that I think it is very unlikely indeed that anything has happened to him at the hands of the inhabitants, who, outside of the cities, I always found to be peaceable and courteous. (I know how the country is sometimes portrayed to the outside world, headhunters, cannibals etc.)

Your DH's adventure sounds more like Wind in the Willows Greyduster ? I love that book too, and The thirty Nine Steps. I must keep these comments for the Books section.

I suppose, if you're interested in anthropology, sitting in Tescos car park watching the behaviour of the locals doesn't really float your boat. Not sure where people like Benedict Allan can go to these days.
