Aren't these pics in reference to the WW2 film being done based on the book The Airmen and the Headhunters???

I think you are right Charles.

But I am still wondering what these papoeas from New-guinea were doing in Borneo!!

Hi Maurice,

It looks like they are dancing. Not ?

And maybe they are there to give you that old Tarzan movie feeling.
Remember the tigers and orang utans turning up somewhere in Africa

Madurese heads taken in Kalimantan which is the Indonesian part of Borneo

Correcto, that was in Kalimantan, not Malaysia

Kisak thank you, that is the link. I just thought the two old vets looked rather fine. I live in a well known military area in the UK. Many of the older dog walkers and fellows in the pubs I meet are veterans of Malay and Borneo with some hair raising tales to tell.
