Any idea what all the gadgets are for? The wires around the perimeter
remind me of the WWII magnetic anomaly detectors used for finding

CASA C-212-200 Aviocar - Fugro Airborne Surveys

"Conducting a low level geo-physical survey at Dubbo. The loop around the
aircraft generates a electical pulse into the ground. The bomb like device on
the rear fuselage is trailed on a tow cable in flight and picks up the return
signal fom the generated pulse. Bit like a giant metal detector"
