1. Title: "Britten-Norman BN-2A-21 Islander G-BCMY at the Greenham Common International Air Tattoo, 1977: A Nostalgic Look at an Iconic Aviation Moment" 2. Caption: This evocative photograph captures the Britten-Norman BN-2A-21 Islander aircraft, registration number G-BCMY (msn 419), during the Greenham Common International Air Tattoo on the 16th of June 1977. The Islander, a versatile and iconic British short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, is seen in its former Paris Air Show livery, bearing the serial number 228. The image transports us back to a time when aviation enthusiasts gathered to celebrate the wonders of flight. The Greenham Common Air Tattoo, an annual event held in Berkshire, England, was a significant attraction for aviation enthusiasts, drawing crowds from all corners of the country. The Britten-Norman Islander, a stalwart of the British aviation industry, was a popular sight at air shows during the late 1970s. Its distinctive design and impressive capabilities made it a favorite among both pilots and spectators. The aircraft's versatility, combined with its short takeoff and landing capabilities, made it an ideal choice for various roles, including passenger transport, cargo operations, and even maritime patrol. In this photograph, G-BCMY is seen wearing the Paris Air Show serial number 228, a testament to its participation in the prestigious event held earlier that year. The Islander's pristine white finish, contrasted against the vibrant blue sky, highlights its sleek and elegant design. The image captures a moment in time, a snapshot of aviation history, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the Britten-Norman Islander. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, an extensive archive of aviation-related images, now available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection offers a unique glimpse into the history of aviation, showcasing iconic aircraft, historic moments, and the passion of aviation enthusiasts.
