Poor old WMP. Its a shame. When TL first got that machine back in the mid 90's it was in pretty good nick. Used to fly it for an operator out of Katherine Gorge - and it was one of the better 210's that they had.
Unfortunately WMP and the others were seen as just freighters and were never looked after.
From memory we flew the centre run for about 2 or 3 years before autopilots were fitted - that run was luxury after that
A lot of scary stories came from that operation - especially in the pre-autopilot days. Amazing how long people can sleep for in an aircraft thats relying on Mr Newton for guidance.
