I had a look at the Baron at RAF Wyton, this afternoon: the wings have no
vortex generators at all, that I could see.
It is probably a different, older, model to the one you photographed. It has
'55' on the fuselage.
I've never looked closely at one of these twins before and I rather like it.
It looks comfortable, it must have plenty of spare power and with wings that
thick probably has decent range. If only I could afford to keep one . . .
