This aircraft, still wearing its former Kar-Air colours, was the so-called Joint Airborne-geoscience Capability (JAC). Owned at the time by the Natural Environment Research Council in Swindon, UK, it was operated by Malmilento Oy (a Finnair subsidiary) for the Finnish and British geological surveys. This explains the GTK and BGS logos on the nose and the Finnish and British flags on the fin. The JAC was fitted with a multi-channel gamma spectrometer, a dual-frequency electromagnetic system and a magnetic gradiometer. On 1 Sep 2010 the aircraft was sold to Canada as C-GSGF.
