They do, but I don't know the exact allocation there - apart from Hunters who always use their Solo W7JPT on the 713. Stanley Travel seems to use their Enviro200 on their 706/707 service (last time I was there it was the MPD Y40STX).

Right, thanks again Tony!

101 allocation depends on day of the week. Normally 2 MANs but a Solo does appear a few days a week.
