Some time ago I asked about Kapton wiring on this thread and the general consensus was that there was no Kapton wiring on the MR2.

Have recieved a copy of the BAE Safety Report on the ac you can imagine my suprise when I read this.

Noted during Zonal Hazard Analysis of XV*** at RAF ****** 17th-20th March 2003.
Electrical Arcing/Fire-Wing Trailing Edge Kapton wiring.
Potential water ingress into Kapton Wiring when combined with insulation breakdown could result in electrical arcing and uncontrolled fire.

Not PVC/Nylon but Kapton !!!!
