EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Britten-Norman BN.2A Islander aircraft, specifically registration VH-CFZ, as it prepares for takeoff at an undisclosed airstrip in the Pacific region, circa 1980. The Britten-Norman Islander is a versatile and iconic short-takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, designed and manufactured by the British company Britten-Norman. The Islander's distinctive twin-engine configuration and high-wing design are evident in this image, with the aircraft's bright orange and white livery adding a striking contrast against the lush, tropical greenery in the background. The registration letters "VH-CFZ" are clearly visible on the fuselage, indicating this particular Islander was operated in the South Pacific, possibly for the Cape Flattery Silica Mines. The Britten-Norman Islander was a popular choice for various applications, including cargo transport, passenger services, and even maritime patrol. Its short takeoff and landing capabilities made it an ideal solution for operating from unpaved runways and remote locations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Islander's versatility and enduring appeal in the world of aviation. The Islander's timeless design and impressive capabilities continue to make it a sought-after aircraft in various industries, including search and rescue, air ambulance, and regional airline services. This photograph serves as a testament to the Islander's rich history and the important role it has played in aeronautical transportation.
