EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter 3X-GAY (msn 553) as it makes a stopover at London Heathrow Airport during its delivery journey to Republic de Guinee in 1978. The Twin Otter, a versatile and popular short-takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, was manufactured by de Havilland Canada. In this image, the aircraft is seen taxing on the runway, its distinctive orange and blue livery standing out against the gray tarmac. The Twin Otter was making its way from Canada to its new home in Guinea via Reykjavik, Iceland, and Lisbon, Portugal. The long-haul journey required multiple refueling stops, making Heathrow a necessary pit-stop for the aircraft. The Twin Otter was a valuable addition to the Republic de Guinee's aviation fleet, and its arrival marked the expansion of the country's transportation infrastructure. The Twin Otter was a beloved aircraft in the aviation community for its reliability, versatility, and ability to operate from unpaved runways. Its twin engines provided ample power for short takeoffs and landings, making it an ideal choice for remote and rugged terrain. The aircraft's design was a testament to de Havilland Canada's commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of aviation. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Twin Otter in its prime as it embarked on an exciting new chapter in its life as a vital transportation asset in Guinea.
