The opd on the wing was the weather radar. This installation is common on SE
turboprops. Can't very easily put it in the nose.

Thanks, Wayne.
That fog had nearly caused me to divert; zipping down below cloud and finding
the runway in the crud was rather challenging and I was very glad to find it.
The runway lights were inop so it was a good thing I had flown from that
airfield for a number of years and could work from feature to feature back home
. . .
