EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Britten-Norman BN-2A-26 Islander aircraft, specifically registration G-AWVY (msn 48), in its prime during the early 1970s. The Britten-Norman Islander is a versatile short-takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, designed and manufactured by the British company Britten-Norman. The Islander, with its distinctive twin-engine configuration and high-wing design, was first introduced in 1965 and quickly gained popularity due to its ability to operate from unpaved runways and short strips, making it an ideal choice for various roles, including passenger transport, cargo operations, and even as a maritime patrol aircraft. In this image, G-AWVY is seen taxying on a grassy runway, its engines idling quietly as the crew prepares for takeoff. The Islander's distinctive red and white color scheme, with the registration number prominently displayed on the fuselage, adds to its visual appeal. The aircraft's large windows provide ample natural light for passengers, while the spacious cabin offers comfort and convenience for those aboard. The Britten-Norman Islander, with its versatility and reliability, revolutionized short-haul air travel and played a significant role in connecting remote communities and islands around the world. This photograph, taken circa 1971, captures a moment in time when the Islander was at the forefront of aviation innovation and continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts today.
