Hi David,
This one may have been per-1983, and I know VH-MWF (the first of the 3 bandits) had the dihedral (didn't make any difference flying wise) has it also had the later style flap handle. I can't remember if the 2nd (flyable Bandit ) had dihedral as I had moved on from Aerolink by the time it arrived. Last time I saw it was in Saipan in 1997.
I have a photo somewhere of the Bandits parked in Saipan. The colours on the engine cowl give it a way as one of the Pacfic Island Aiirlines Bandits.
