An energetic couple are far from winding down in their 50s, embracing a high-altitude lifestyle in the jungle. In 2019, David and Caroline Moore celebrated their 50s by moving from Cornwall to Papua New Guinea.
The couple live on a mission compound in Mount Hagen, which sits deep in the mountainous Western Highlands. David, aged 55, is Maintenance Manager for Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) – the world’s largest humanitarian air service.
MAF pilots are thought to face some of the most challenging flying conditions in the world to land in Papua New Guinea and deliver aid, medicine, and essential supplies to isolated communities. David oversees the maintenance of more than 70 MAF houses, 18 vehicles, and seven aircraft hangars - he also trains a team of 18 local maintenance engineers.
