Yes, I took the above photo 16th June 2006.

I'm trying to remember the name of the captain, I think he was Canadian. I asked for a look at the flight deck on the flight out, but not surprisingly was refused. However, he came down for a chat, and I had a look upstairs after we'd landed at MPA. The panel looked fairly basic with all steam driven instruments. The captain likened flying a 747 into Ascension and MPA to farm strip flying, and I think the divert for MPA was Rio.
