Notes (include staff, shop time etc)
 Because of the new ÒT-cockpitÓ configuration (glass cockpit), no electronic gear associated with our GPS and video gear was allowed on board.  We only had the 12volt car battery box.  Images were recorded on 2-Gb flash cards in the Nikon D1X. Only JPG images were collected.
