Wingtip. Agreed. Oh Well!
Many thanks.
However, the pictures and drawings in Morgan's book that I mentioned still show an antenna in this position, albeit at a steeper angle then the 'wingtip/aerial' in the photo.
No sleep yet, gentlemen.

I wonder if this piccie helps put things to rest. Incidentally it's the same airframe... Note it's not the actual wingtip, but the static wick (?) hanging off the end. Didn't someone suggest this earlier? (Although I suspect they meant one on the tail rather than the wing tip!)
They are the wingtip fuel vents. The manager at Nairobi International was severly upset when the aircraft vented fuel all over his brand new apron when the fuel warmed up after an overnight refuelling.
