Did an ATCO Fam Flight Heathrow - St Mawgan (& return) in a Brymon Herald many years ago. When we boarded at Heathrow, one passenger got off the coach and entered via the front entrance whereas the rest of us were ushered towards the rear entrance. I gather this person was Mr Bryce, the owner!.
After departure from St Mawgan on the return leg, the FO handling asked the captain to switch on the anti ice system. I noticed in their pre start checks they had been using torches to see some of the instruments and switches. Anyway the captain peered down in the dark, flipped a switch, and the windscreen wipers came on!
The Captain said 'sorry, been on Twin Otters for the last six weeks'!
