1970: A Historic Moment at Ford Airfield with Britten-Norman BN-2A-8 Islander G-51-56 This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in aviation history at Ford Airfield, as Britten-Norman BN-2A-8 Islander G-51-56 prepares for delivery to Air Tahiti. With its distinctive wings and tail, the Islander, registration number G-51-56, is seen in pristine condition prior to its journey to the South Pacific. Manufactured by Britten-Norman, this particular Islander, with the manufacturing serial number 136, was produced in 1970. The Islander, a versatile and popular aircraft, was designed for short-range flights, making it an ideal choice for Air Tahiti's operations. The Islander's journey did not end with its delivery to Air Tahiti. It went on to have an impressive career, with the Tahitian registration number F-OCOZ and later, N6522T. The aircraft served Air Tahiti for nearly two decades, from August 1990 until it was written off in an accident in September 2006. This photograph offers a glimpse into aviation history, showcasing the Britten-Norman Islander's iconic design and its role in connecting people and places across the globe. The Islander's story is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable aircraft.
