Police say a small plane that crashed shortly after take-off in Papua New Guinea had been overloaded with cocaine destined for the Australian market.

Officers say the "greed" of the drugs gang played a part in their downfall.

It is believed the Cessna had been carrying more than 500kg (1,100lb) of cocaine worth A$80m ($57m; £44m) when it crashed on Monday.

My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

I bet they were experts at following the centreline!

Congratulations to the police involved for being the first I can recall who accurately calculated the value. Perhaps they should offer light aircraft loading charts.
A million great ideas...
