EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, we witness the Britten-Norman BN.2A-2 Islander aircraft, registration number G-AZEH (msn 289), undergoing pre-delivery flight tests and publicity shoots near Bembridge, Isle of Wight, in 1971. The Islander, a versatile and iconic British short-takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, was manufactured by Britten-Norman, a renowned aeronautical engineering company based in Sussex, England. The Islander in this image, adorned with its pristine livery, is about to embark on an exciting new chapter in its life. It is destined for Fairoaks Aviation, a respected aviation company that would later operate this aircraft for Volkswagen. The photograph captures the essence of anticipation and adventure as the Islander soars through the clear blue skies above Bembridge, showcasing its impressive capabilities and potential. The Britten-Norman Islander, with its distinctive twin-engine configuration and high-wing design, was a popular choice for various applications, including passenger transport, cargo operations, and even military use. Its short takeoff and landing performance made it an ideal solution for accessing remote and challenging locations. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the significant role that the Britten-Norman Islander played in shaping the aeronautical landscape. It is a captivating reminder of the thrill and excitement that comes with the world of aviation and the endless possibilities that lie within the realm of flight.
