Coff, nice pics of 206 on the pan at MPA, what the article and pics fail to mention was that aircraft was the test bed for the MAROC pods on the wingtips, and had additional wiring for the "pallet" that was occassionally used for long sorties to the west of the Islands. Fortunatley the airbridge that landed at Stanley later that week also had the wiring so the crew flew home by BA 747 in comfort.
