One of the best videos of Planes I've seen in a very long time, l remember flying in one of these planes from Glasgow to Campbeltown many years ago and I really enjoyed that flight, so a great big thank you to everyone who has made this trimendous video (l enjoy every minute of it) .
Ah..... I was remembered my dad, he loves BN 2A, simple to maintenance, STOL, like a Land Rover, he was fly in Sumatra Indonesia and landed at air strip grass or gravels. He has about 25.000 hrs at BN2A. He was retired and pass away. I miss you dad.
Love this video. Sights and sounds brought back many memories of when I lived in the New Hebrides in the South West Pacific in the mid 1970s. The Island group (now known as Vanuatu) was governed jointly by the UK and France and was known as the Condominium. The domestic airline was Air Melanesiae ( international services were provided by Air Pacific, Air Nauru and UTA) which used Islanders and Trislanders on its services between the numerous islands in the group. There were only two asphalt runways, one at Bauerfield near the main town of Port Vila, on the island of Efate, and one in the north of the group at Luganville on the island of Espiritu Santo. All of the other landing strips on various islands were surfaced with crushed coral or grass. Many of the strips were cut out of the bush, a few were close to the sea, in one case alongside the beach and only about 2 metres above sea level. I was lucky enough to fly in and out of several of these airstrips (as a passenger) in the course of my job. The Islander was ideally suited to the task. Thanks again for the reminder.
When I was an infant in Guyana back in the 70s I truly loved the BN 2s and the engine sounds, and now in my 40s and still love them to the bone 😁😁😁😁😁👊👊👍👍✌✌
I used to fly a turbo Islander here in the UK. Fantastic fun on a late spring evening going back to base at 500ft. A different story over central London on task in the early hours of a winter night as the heater was absolutely useless🥶
@@skbenergy thank you man👍,same to you!! In this difficult times I enjoy your videos even more!! Just hoping the world will heal soon!!! Take care friend!!!
Thanks for the video. I really like the use of different angles and locations on the airport. I was quite familiar with a particular turbine islander at RAF Weston on the Green back in the 80's. By the way what is that Shorts 360 carrying?
A really good compilation of aircraft, and nicely edited too. Well done!
I am a huge fan of the Britten Norman BN2 Islander.

Your father (R.I.P.) was probably one of the world’s most experienced BN2 Islander pilots

too bad didn't get to see the landing from cockpit
Sorry you had some electrical issues. I guess your problems were with the wind screen, because it didn't work.
properly :) !!
