This WWII aircraft was installed with a Canadian Electromagnetic mapping system at Essendon Airport. In effect it was a huge "flying metal detector". Capable of detecting ore bodies and general resistivity mapping for aquifers etc. This photo was added on 10 January 2020, and has since been viewed 450 times. |
