Air Nelson's aircraft are all new build- I would guess that the uncommanded auto feather was that particular aircraft's "wierd defect from the factory". The build quality fom Bombardier can be a bit poor these days. I can't remember an uncommanded autofeaher from Easterns 20 odd aircraft for a bloody long time.
